Story Behind the Song
I wrote the song and the lyrics came pouring out. The process was over in a few days. I guess I was in a "Space Oddity" mood at the time with the "I ride my rocketship" opening line.
Lyrics
Cosmic Certainty
© 2002 Ara Avakian
I ride my rocket ship,
Across the stars, all alone
I tried to find you,
I even called, but you were not home
Please, leave a light in your window for me
Believe in me, Im a cosmic certainty
I dont need much coaxing,
To ride the winds, that blot the sun
And when I find you,
Youll know how far, I have come
Please, leave a light in your window for me
Believe in me, Im a cosmic certainty
Maybe I lost myself,
Somewhere along the way
My engines swell
As the hours, melt into days…
Flashes outside my window
They twist and bend
And with shadows in your eyes
Soon through your skies,
I will descend
Its cold and lonely,
Out here between, darkness and nothing
Im a star-lost casualty
Space debris, in a vacuum sea
Please, leave a light in your window for me
Believe in me…
