When You Touch Down from Outer Space

When You Touch Down from Outer Space - Stornoway

I'll show you the city when the skies are open

When you touch down from outer space

When the glass is glinting and the trees are golden

When you touch down from outer space

And the leaves go swirling down the swollen river

When you touch down from outer space

Past the covered market where the shoppers shiver

I'll show you the skyline from the top of south park

When you touch down from outer space

An armageddon sunset on a slick of wet grass

When you touch down from outer space

And the saturated souls will smell the bonfires

And watch the shooting stars explode above the dusty church spire

I can't wait i can't wait

I can't wait i can't wait

I can't wait to introduce you to your new world

I just pray i just pray

I just pray i just pray

I just pray you're strong enough to drink it in

I'll take you daytripping out in the county

When you touch down from outer space

See the alien life forms in the open country

When you touch down from outer space

And we'll listen to the nightjars eerie chirping

Where the pylons stand like cyborgs lurking in the clearing

I'm so grateful i'm so grateful

I'm so grateful i'm so grateful

I'm so grateful to be on this expedition

I'll throw myself i'll throw myself

I'll throw myself i'll throw myself

I'll throw everything i have into the mission

And in the calm before the storm

I lie awake and i see these four walls

What i think of as my own world

Won't be revolving around me much longer

People say people say

People say people say

People say you'll change to beyond recognition

So i will need so i will need

I will need i will need to get my mind to be

I will need to be prepared for my position

I can't wait i can't wait

I can't wait i can't wait

I can't wait to prepared then your rise position

I just pray i just pray

I just pray i just pray

I just pray you're strong enough to drink it in
