Lyrics:
Escape to the Cosmos
         
    The city at night is a lovely sight,
    But the lights can strain your eyes.
    I know of a grove off a dark country road.
    Why don’t we go for a ride?

    We’ll slip away when the daylight fades
    And the stars begin to shine.
    The clouds have all cleared, and the moon’s not too bright.
    We’ll escape to the cosmos tonight.

    Far from the bars, the streetlights and cars,
    We'll lay our blankets down,
    Trace the constellations from our bed in the weeds,
    And share all the wonders we've found.

    We’ll slip away when the daylight fades
    And the stars begin to shine.
    With galaxies and gods all goin round in our flight,
    We’ll escape to the cosmos tonight.    

    The fireflies flash, the meteors dash
    All across the impossible sky.

    We’ll slip away when the daylight fades
    And the stars begin to shine.
    In this brilliant darkness, our vision's set right.
    We’ll escape to the cosmos tonight.
