tune: A North County Maid
An Auronar maid
Through the galaxy strayed,
For with her own leaders she did not agree;
But she wept and she sighed
And she telepathicised
"How I wish once again on Auron I might be!
For my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron.
"Now widely I roam
Exiled from my dear home,
Where thoughts are shared freely
With no need for speech,
Where you're never alone
When your sister is a clone
And the comfort of contact is always in reach.
And my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron.
"Strange worlds have I found
Where moon discs skim the ground;
I'll own the cosmos is a wonderful sight.
But there's nowhere in space
Like our Replication Base
Where young clones develop from morning to night.
And my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron.
"No doubt if I pleased
I could pairbond with ease:
On board we're outnumbered by men (four to two).
But whoever I wed
Must speak straight into my head
And pilot me back to my Auronar home.
For my people do say
That however far you've gone
You will still feel the pull of the planet Auron."
