Текст песни
I landed where the river ran
But silver towers crossed the land
The station studied my face
Then asked me to explain my age
The avenues made no sound
Gardens floated off the ground
I found my street, I found the door
The house was there — but mine no more
I called your name into the hall
A quiet voice came through the wall
I came to visit Earth’s future
Just for a day beyond the blue
The world became the dream we promised
But every dream forgot about you
I came to visit Earth’s future
I never meant to lose the past
The sky is brighter than I remember
So why does nothing feel like home?
Behind the glass, our city signs
Old paper books and railway lines
A faded picture from our spring
Was marked: “Unknown domestic scene”
They cleared the smoke, restored the seas
And taught the streets to grow their trees
The world survived the things we feared
But everything we loved disappeared
I touched your picture through the glass
And heard the future answer back
I came to visit Earth’s future
Just for a day beyond the blue
The world became the dream we promised
But every dream forgot about you
I came to visit Earth’s future
I never meant to lose the past
The sky is brighter than I remember
So why does nothing feel like home?
Visitor, your century is closed
Return coordinates are unknown
No living records match your name
Please choose a future and remain
Then play one sound from long ago
The evening rain, the radio
Let me hear her voice once more
Before you close the century’s door
I came to visit Earth’s future
Now I am stranded in the blue
The world became the dream we promised
But I would trade it all for you
I came to visit Earth’s future
Where every broken thing was healed
They saved the oceans, skies and cities
But not the life that made them real
The house was there —
But mine no more
