Текст песни
The docking clamps release their hold
The planet turns in bands of gold
A shining ribbon, edge to edge
We drop the nose beyond the ledge
Ice fragments scatter past the glass
A billion mirrors flying past
The navigator counts to ten
We touch the orbit and descend
No road was ever drawn this wide
No compass knows which way is right
Ride the rings of Saturn
Round the giant, round we go
On a road of ice and starlight
Where the years forget to flow
Ride the rings of Saturn
Let the straight lines fall away
Every circle brings us homeward
But we never return the same
The shadow cuts the daylight thin
The night side pulls the colors in
Then sunrise breaks across the stones
And turns the darkness into gold
We see our engine flare ahead
A ghost of light we thought had fled
The signal that we sent before
Comes ringing through the cabin wall
The clock repeats a missing chime
We cross our path from another time
Ride the rings of Saturn
Round the giant, round we go
On a road of ice and starlight
Where the years forget to flow
Ride the rings of Saturn
Let the straight lines fall away
Every circle brings us homeward
But we never return the same
We thought tomorrow waited on
Beyond the planets and the dawn
But time is not a line we chase —
It bends around a larger place
So hold the rail and don’t look down
The past is coming back around
Not to keep us where we’ve been
But show us how to start again
Ride the rings of Saturn
Round the giant, round we go
On a road of ice and starlight
Where the lost hours start to glow
Ride the rings of Saturn
Let the straight lines fall away
Every circle brings us homeward
But we never return the same
Round the giant
Round we go
