Signed aboard a Far Trader heading Rimward
Coming down from the Regina vicinity
Carrying sixty-five tons of mixed cargo
Bound for the up-port orbiting Treece

Heading through Lanth just making some easy money
But trying so hard just to run from all my yesterdays
From each stop I would send you some X-Mail
But one night in jump I finally knew why we went astray

Think about...

Think about how many times the stars have called me onward
New worlds I have to see, the old ones just discarded
I pray you don't think of me as cold and empty-hearted...

I have traveled 'round the Main
Hoping - Hoping to break these chains
Of the memories that still remain

And someday I will

When you see Trin's Veil for the first time
You know just how small a man's dreams can be
'Cause you might be hurting now from my leaving
But tomorrow is a new day, you'll forget all about me

So I'm leaving in the morning for the Outrim
And my love for you will come along, no matter how hard I beg
I have my ship and a cargo that needs to be lifted
She is all that I have left, and Beowulf is her name

Think about...

Think about how many times the stars have called me onward
New worlds I have to see, the old ones just discarded
I pray you don't think of me as cold and empty-hearted...

I have traveled 'round the Main
Hoping - Hoping to break these chains
Of the memories that still remain

And someday I will

And I know I will

I have lived all my life wandering the starlanes
And I've never had a home, for me it's just a word
I just ask, please, look up at the night sky
And know that I'm still out there, but I wish I was still with you

Underneath Trin's Veil
