Poet And A Spaceman Lyrics

I want to be a poet and a spaceman
Living in my world above the clouds
I will sing you songs from Mercury
And I’ll cast a moonlight shadow on your doubts

I want to be the sunlight in the morning
That’ll brush across your eyes and make you smile
I will be the warmth in your blue world
If you will be the life in mine

I want to be the reason that you curl up your toes
A pretty memory left beautifully exposed
I will be a firework that’ll fly and then explode
But tonight I’m on my own

So I’ll always be a poet and a spaceman
Living in my world above the clouds

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
