"Space Widow's Lament"

[Lightfoot]

You're a smart fellow, and your wife or companion is very fortunate.

Night, Hood... the above probably directed to one of you... as obviously Skye's incredible song was pointedly directed at me.

My God, she's good, ain't she?

Am I a complete idiot?
Is there more to the tale than meets the eye?

It's true. I may be flying off into the stars
only to find no welcome upon returning.

But she's never seen those stars,
or felt the fever of combat.

Nor shown more than passing interest.
She only know that I'm here. And not there.

I can't explain it. Or deny it. Or defend it.
Yet I'm very good at explaining and denying and defending
....when it suits me.

And, just in passing, when we first met,
it was through this infernal machine.
And when we communicated, it was like the song of birds.
It gave us the freedom to be coy, to boast, to flirt, to yearn.
And now, even though things seem to be crumbling to dust around us,
we seem to have come full circle. Both, ghosts in the Infernal Machine.

Welcome to Sirius, Skyedaughter
