Lyrics [pdf] [txt] [cho]

	G	C	G	D7
	Farewell to sun-scorched	inn	er	worlds

	C	G
And	Terra's burn	ing sky

	C	G
On sails of shining	goss	amer

	C	G	C G D7
Back to the	night	we	fly;

	G	C	G
Past	Jove the ruler	of	the sky

	C	G
Toward Saturn	his	fair Queen

	C	G	D7
Most beautiful of	all	the	worlds

	G	C	D7	G
	That	any	man	has seen.

G D7 G C

Outward bound, outward bound

G

We're outward bound for Saturn

C G C G D7

With her crown of gold en light

G C G

Homeward bound, homeward bound

D7

Where my own lady is waiting

G D7 G

In the court of the Queen of Night

On a liner called the Queen of Night

For Saturn we are bound

With Earth and Sun behind us now

And bright stars all around.

With passengers and cargo

On the outward course we'll steer

For my home and for my lady

All the things that I hold dear.

Drink another bag of coffee

Take the morning watch alone.

Even now the rings are blazing

In the sky above my home.

Though Terra's hills are green and fair

They are not home to me;

My lady's face against the sky

Is all that I can see.

My true love has a wedding ring

That covers half the sky

Too long I've been a-roving

Now back to her I'll fly

My Princess of the Darkness

In the court of the Queen of Night

It's all the love she holds for me

That makes the rings so bright.
