lyrics

The Earthship is leaving, on its long, long flight
And I want to go with them, I’ll hide here tonight.
I want to go with them, to Earth I must go
Won’t you let me go with them, no my son, no.
Oh father, oh father, I feel you are unkind
And I’m going with the Earthmen, to live with mankind.
I’m leaving forever, with humans I will go
Won’t you let me go with them, no my son, no
I’ve lived here on Nepton, I’ll live here no more
There is nothing here, father, but pain, death, and war.
The hating and fighting, from long, long ago
Won’t you let me go with them, no my son, no
A stowaway I’ll be, I’m going to Earth
In its radiant splendor, I’ll find what I’m worth.
I’ll find peace and gladness my people can’t know
Won’t you let me go with them, no my son, no
Won’t you let me go with them . . . no, my son no.

John Spearn Edmonton, Alberta

You’ll instantly catch these deep influences threaded through John’s fine vocals, lyrics, and rootsy, guitar-mastered songwriting works. This is pure Canadiana: forgotten but deserving heroes, the humility in our international image, and a superb range of tender ballads through to raw, foot-stompin’ stories that need to be told. ... more
