and hammered stars into the unforgetting sky – like nails
I am Goya.

Oh, it’s home again, and home again, America for me!

To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean bars,
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

In time you shall see Fate approach you
In the shape of your own image in the mirror;
Or you shall sit alone by your own hearth,
And suddenly the chair by you shall hold a guest,
And you shall know that guest,
And read the authentic message of his eyes.

We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low.
