Steeped In Stars

White moon- I set my boats free in your bay. I wound them up and they all sailed away. From here to the Milky Way. I don't know all the answers, but when I stood to walk away someone put poison into my cup of love. So, I headed out to where the stars burned brighter, when I hit the road... I lost my cigarette lighter. Steeped in stars like a warm cup of tea. I want to swim in your Sea of Tranquility. So, I boarded the last boat and I am making my way-- to navigate the stars, to taste the Milky Way. I'll be rising when the sun decides to set. I asked her to remember me, because, her? I'll never forget!
