Текст песни: Tiberius Rising + перевод

Jimmy always was a restless boy

You could see it in his eyes

There was something wrong when I watched my son

When Jimmy watched the skies

And very often on an Iowa night

I’d see him standing in the yard

I can’t describe how I loved that boy

But Jimmy loved the stars

And I remember he’d make paper boats

They seemed to bring him peace of mind

And then one day he sailed away

Leaving me behind

Singing, «Some day I’ll be going away

And I don’t know when I’m coming home

I’m leaving on a moonbeam

I’m sailing away on a star

I don’t think I’m ever coming home»

While all the other kids were flying kites

Jimmy was nowhere to be found

He coudln’t bear to see it ride the air

While he was on the ground

And though he always got along with the girls

I knew he’d never settle down

He had a date with a greater love

The first ship out of town

So if you see that boy of mine

Tell him I hope he’s doing well

And sometimes on a starry night

I swear that I can hear him still
