	Story Behind the Song Song was inspiried by a couple: he was living in the future, she in the past. Lyrics The Wanderer said to his own true love Won't you fly to the stars with me And we'll make our home past the planet Mars And a star will your wedding band be. The Beauty said to her Wanderer love Won't you please stay and live by my side. For like a flower that blooms in the field If I'm plucked from the Earth I will die. And the beauty of summer glowed in her cheeks And her laugh was a bubbling stream And the flowers he smelled at the thought of her name As he drank in her memory's stream The Wanderer left on his silver ship For the call of the stars was too strong As he kissed her goodby 'neath an autumn sky He said he'd return before long He said he'd return on a silver ship To take her to a new home So she sits ever night in the pale moonlight And watches the stars alone He flew for years 'round the milkeyway And he danced with the stars in the sky But often he thought of his lush green home And the Beauty that would not fly One day he returned as he promised her And his ship touched down in the haze But a war had blackened the face of the earth And the Beauty had burned in the blaze But he said he'd return on a silver ship To take her to a new home And she sat and she cried as her green world died And looked toward the stars alone. The beauty of summer once glowed in her cheeks And her laugh was a bubbling stream And the flowers he smelled at the thought of her name As he drank in her memory's stream.
