Sandy Feat - High Places

Things got pretty dark there

It looked like we were stuck

It’s hard out in the desert

When youre just a little duck

So we built ourselves a raft

And took it to the moon

Though things got kind of rocky

On those lunar afternoons

Then oh no

The waves are crashing harder

Against our tiny boat

That’s drowning in the water

The captain says

He hopes it will get better

We should not be sailing

In such stormy weather

The martians had a picnic

And they sent a telegram

I think they meant to call me sir

But instead they called me ma’am

And most nights I stay in now

I stare up at the stars

Oh how I miss the lost canals

On distant planet Mars

And hey hey

The water’s flowing faster

From my mother’s fountain

That my father made her

And all day

I’ve been working on this letter

I’ve been trying and trying

To say what I am after

We should not be sailing in such stormy whether
