A Spaceman Came Travelling Lyrics

Cover art for A Spaceman Came Travelling lyrics by Chris De Burgh

"He followed a light and came down to a shed, Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed" is worthy of the great McGonagall. The whole lyric is so portentious and so deeply dreadful it brought me out in a thin sweat of embarassment. Also betrays basic ignorance of writer as a light year is a measurement of distance, not time.
