and i have visions

like scars are in the sky

boiling water is running from your eye

and all our trouble

cannot be gone too soon

a cowboy on the moon

and i am stupid

i clutter up my mind

i'm always sorry

for somebody left behind

and i will write you

when i can find the time

a cowboy on the moon



when i was little

we gathered round the set

remote controls

were not invented yet

an historic moment

and now i have two pets

a cowboy on the moon

the blessed buttons

and the sacred sandwich

a happy hamper

in which to put my clothes

a texas spaceman

and a boy named buzz

a cowboy on the moon
