MOON ROSES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

will there one day be
gardens on the moon
if there will I hope I see
see the flowers soon

growing under domes of light
filtered sun against the glass
in the future of mankind
when these things have come to pass

will they grow roses on the moon
before the next century closes
and if they do please pick for me
a bouquet of moon roses

moon roses
against the blue
earth juxtaposes
a black sky
an endless night
a dark side
without light
with the red
and white

sometimes I feel so far away
I'll never get back home
sometimes in the vacuum of space
I'm never more alone

and then I float beyond the stars
so blind and lost in space
someday to sail out beyond Mars
remembering your face

I think of you and how you smiled
mistakes I did suppose
the distance measured more than miles
a life more than a rose

moon roses
against the blue
earth juxtaposes
a black sky
an endless night
a dark side
without light
with the red
and white
