Voyager Lyrics

Watching satellites, lying in the grass
I know our days are numbered, but you don't know that I feel like that
You don't hear solitude, calling me away
And the hardest part is part of me wants to stay

I won't wait for you, I'm already gone
Like moonlight leaves with the dawn
I won't wait for you, the night's too long
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on

Clouds move like paint
Changing in the sky
If the wind is on my side
I might leave tonight
I hate to disappoint you, but I've always been this way
And I know you need me here, but I know that I won't stay

No, I won't wait for you, I'm already gone
Like moonlight leaves with the dawn
I won't wait for you, the night's too long
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

No, I won't wait for you, I'm already gone
Like moonlight leaves with the dawn
I won't wait for you, the night's too long
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on
I'm a voyager, and I voyage on

Oh, oh, oh, oh

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.

I can hardly believe I am the first to comment on this true piece of art . A song that, as true artists often do, requires nothing more than an austere, discreet and precise accompaniment and, however, the content, the structure and the melodic and harmonic turns transmit a definitive, distressing but honest and liberating message: The time to leave has arrived. Everything from the comfortable and contemplative darkness of the night to the painful dawn with the irreparable absence of the loved one.
