Yellow leaves twirling through black space
hostile, empty, and colds pale breath
slow and still they float in a silent vortex
there is never, forever

They were there for us, Laika
they are there for those
that will come to pass
in the vast black space

Where they came from,
only the stern fairies whisper
the length of their journey
stars have seen them forever

They are there
for us
so far out in space
lonely for us
out in the universe
these leaves will remain for us
to remind of home

for such a fieignt favour
so far away in the universe
seems endlessly gracefull
full of love
and lights the soul and makes it
find its way home...
