lyrics

In 1922 we shot a man on to the moon
And though it did not receive much news
In certain circles excitement grew
He was a man of considered strength and Percy Fawcett was his name
A person who rarely complained, but he was never seen again

His previous trips had all gone fine
He’d mapped the earth and charted the sky
And no one thought he’d ever die so you can imagine their surprise
When a man who is invincible, who’s built his life on principle
The people said it was a lie and with there heads to the sky they cried

Percy won’t you please come back
You’ve been gone for far too long and that’s a fact
Percy won’t you please come back
You’ve been gone for far too long and that’s a fact

The search parties they soon were sent
To bring it back was there intent
But few could brave the elements of open space their will it bent
So empty handed they returned or not at all some crews were burned
By solar flares sent from the sun, still cries they rained from everyone

Percy won’t you please come back
You’ve been gone for far too long and that’s a fact
Percy won’t you please come back
You’ve been gone for far too long and that’s a fact

The hope of rescue soon grew thin for the man many had seen as kin
The grieving yanked from deep within
Was this defeat to be a sin?
Percy never did return but immortal became his name an journey
The people rallied one last time and let out one final futile cry

Percy won’t you please come back
You’ve been gone for far too long and that’s a fact
Percy won’t you please come back
You’ve been gone for far too long and that’s a fact
