Long ago we used to lie
Beneath the summer evening sky
The moon and mars and all the stars
Were in our eyes

You made a wish and it came true
But what it was I never knew
Until one night I saw your light
Was up there too

Julia Verne - she’s on a journey to the stars
Leaving behind these worldly binds
For something new

Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
I’ve got to hope, my telescope’s
Always on you, on you

I found the note beside the bed
The strangest thing I’ve ever read
“I’ve got to go, that’s all I know”
Was all it said

So off it went, a loaded gun
To shoot you right around the sun
Are you insane? I can’t explain
The things you’ve done

Julia Verne - she’s on a journey to the stars
Leaving behind these worldly binds
For something new

Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
I’ve got to hope, my telescope’s
Always on you, on you
On you

How many nights and days
Since last we parted ways
It must be hard to count them out in space
Lay down your landing gear
You know I’m still right here
Forever wondering why you disappeared

But if I could I’d take a ride
Across the great cosmic divide
And maybe then I’d once again
Be at your side

For if it’s true that what you’ve found
Way out there where there is no sound
Is worth it all, I’ll never fall
Back to the ground

Julia Verne - she’s on a journey to the stars
Leaving behind these worldly binds
For something new

Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
I’ve got to hope, my telescope’s
Always on you, on you
On you, on you

Long ago we used to lie
Beneath the summer evening sky
The moon and mars and all the stars
Were in our eyes
You made a wish and it came true
But what it was I never knew
Until one night I saw your light
Was up there too

Julia Verne - she's on a journey to the stars
Leaving behind these worldly binds
For something new
Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
I've got to hope, my telescope's
Always on you, on you

I found the note beside the bed
The strangest thing I've ever read
"I've got to go, that's all I know"
Was all it said
So off it went, a loaded gun
To shoot you right around the sun
Are you insane? I can't explain
The things you've done

Julia Verne - she's on a journey to the stars
Leaving behind these worldly binds
For something new
Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
I've got to hope, my telescope's
Always on you, on you
On you

How many nights and days
Since last we parted ways
It must be hard to count them out in space
Lay down your landing gear (Ooh, la la la la)
You know I'm still right here (Ooh, la la la la)
Forever wondering why you disappeared (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

(2:30-3:36)

But if I could I'd take a ride
Across the great cosmic divide
And maybe then I'd once again
Be at your side
For if it's true that what you've found
Way out there where there is no sound

Julia Verne - she's on a journey to the stars
Leaving behind these worldly binds
For something new
Julia Verne - will you return to mend these scars?
I've got to hope, my telescope's
Always on you, on you
On you (on you, on you, on you)
On you (on you, on you, on you, on you)
