about

Inspired by Janet Morris' trilogy Dream Dancer, Cruiser Dreams, and Earth Dreams. And yes, the word IS sponge.

lyrics

She is always on my mind
As she lies in space.
She is mine in my thoughts' embrace.
In time I am hers,
Out of time she waits through me.
But how much longer can this be?

CHORUS: Cruiser Dreaming
Dancer's seemings
Can never be as real as sponge is
To my ship and me.
Starlight haunts us.
Cruiser Consciousness
Is wrapped around the stars
And through eternity.

Though she is infinity
She is a point in time.
She is one with others of her line.
She speaks and she hears,
She guides and understands.
How can she be a work of Man?

CHORUS

In another time and place
She would share my bed.
Here and now we share dreams instead.
Her body is another's
But her soul belongs to me.
Someday we two will be set free.

CHORUS
