Another Galaxy
"Another Galaxy" is a straightforward, verse-and-chorus song; cracking not required. In traditional lyric notation, you'd write it this way:
On the morning of her wedding day,
When no one was awake,
She drove across the border.
Leaving all the yellow roses on her wedding cake.
Her mother's tears, her breakfast order.
She's gone, gone, gone.
[Chorus]
There is a moment, a chip in time,
When leaving home is the lesser crime.
When your eyes are blind with tears,
But your heart can see:
Another life, another galaxy.
That night her dreams are storm-tossed like a willow.
She hears the clouds,
She sees the eye of a hurricane,
As it sweeps across her island pillow.
But she's gone, gone, gone.
[Chorus]
[ 1/6/2007 That was what I thought in November. After completing the annotations I know that this is not a "straightforward, verse-and-chorus song." I also think that you can read the lyric as "Her mothers tears" were what she ordered for breakfast.]

"Another Galaxy"
I've barely mentioned "Another Galaxy" here. That's because it's a straightforward, no cracking required, song about a would-be bride who bolts on the morning of her wedding day. The songpoet tells us that this is sometimes the best thing to do.
It's lyrics are the shortest of any on the CD, but its playing time (5:22) is the longest. The guitar work is so spectacular that I wouldn't mind another 5:22. In the comment here I'll mention one thing that you might not have noticed. Dreams.
