The Boy, the Rocket and the World - Alistair Griffin

In a little town by the cold dark sea

sits a northern boy with his dreams.

There’s a rocket ship but it’s never flown,

though all is not all what it seems.

When the sun goes down on that northern town

he closes his eyes and believes.

The boy, the rocket and the world

cross the universe to find a girl.

Through the velvet sky, where the angels fly.

The boy, the rocket and the world.

The boy, the rocket and the world.

On a distant moon in the deep dark blue

there’s an angel lost in the night.

Just a little girl who never got her wings

but she dreams one day she might fly.

So they take a trip on that rocket ship

'cause you never know 'til you try.

The boy, the rocket and the world

cross the universe to find the girl.

In the velvet sky, you saw an angel cry.

The boy, the rocket and the world.

In that little town by the cold dark sea

there’s a man with tears in his eyes.

He build a rocket ship for a little girl

but she never learned how to fly.

The boy said «Come with me, and I’ll show you things.

She’s waiting there in the sky.»

The boy, the rocket and the world

cross the universe to find a girl.

Through the velvet sky, we saw an angel fly.

The boy, the rocket and the world.

The boy, the rocket and the world.

cross the universe to find a girl.

Saw an angel fly, as he waved goodbye.

The boy, the rocket and the world.

The boy, the rocket and the world.
