ross douglas - the moon miners lyrics
luna twilight, dying day
shadows linger on as sunlight slowly fades
darkness deepens as night is drawn
and it’s so very long until another dawn
a lunar miner stirs in his converted canister
rubs his eyes and glances at the time
another day, another shift –
tons of rock to dig and lift –
moving ‘dozers through the shallow lunar mines
4 am or noon, makes no difference on the moon
clocks are just for keeping schedules defined
the rugged miners claim
a man can go insane
seven days of sunshine and seven more to go
and midnight madness mars the beauty of the stars
darkness is forever, luna turns so very slow
then a hundred pairs of eyes
are drawn to the skies
scanning the horizon, antic-p-ting earthrise
eighteen months a tour, lunar miners must endure
many hardships, and the work is never done
a hundred men, no more
mine a million tons of ore
every year, to tame the power of the sun
but somehow they survive
their spirit kept alive
with hope of the future and a dream of island one
luna sunrise, darkness wanes
cold and gray, dawn crawls across the plain
blinding glare glistens on the crater rim
and it’s so very long until the sun goes down again
and it’s so very long until the sun goes down again
and it’s so very long
until the sun goes down
