Lyrics.
I loved a girl named Ruth once, but lost her on my way
I saw her shadow walking on a shore leave world today
And now it’s time for going, I leave this world behind
I’ve even lost her shadow, save the one left on my mind
I loved dark Miramanee, on a world called paradise
And dreamed away season there, my years drowned in her eyes
All duty was forgotten, all thought of death denied
I held her in my arms all night and in my arms she died
I loved sweet, bright-eyed Edith outside time’s written line
She told me all her secrets and I never told her mine
My world’s survival waited, asked all I could devise
I kept a friend from saving her; she fell before my eyes
There was a maid named Rayna once, immortal and unknown
I battled with Methuselah to have her love alone
Her battle was the harder, too fierce, too bittersweet
It tore her untried heart in two; she crumbled at my feet
I love them and I lose them and too many times they die
I come home broken-hearted and back to my stars I fly
My steel and star-drive lady, I keep no love but you
And when this mission’s over I suppose you’ll leave me too
I guess you’ll leave me too

I never realized just how many of the women he loved died. No wonder he didn't want to stay around even for the ones who survived, a lot of the time. Probably afraid something would happen to them, too.

Who's the singer here. I know the perspective is Captain Kirk, but who's singing in real life?

[@SongsfromtheStars]

The singer is Kristoph Klover

In light of the Star Trek Continues episode, it's all the more poignant.

[@willparry530]

the what episode?

[@BernddasBrotB7]

@@willparry530 The fan-made Original Series continuation. Technically that makes it high-budget fanfic I suppose, but the series is absolutely worth looking up if you've not seen it. The one in question is the fourth episode in the series.

@@BernddasBrotB7 Huh, neat, I might have to give it a look sometime. Where can it typically be found, do you know?

[@BernddasBrotB7]

@@willparry530 It's on youtube, but there's also a dedicated website. Just look up Star Trek Continues and it should come up.
