Starlight
Above a sea of clouds
Scattered and distant
Concealed behind a shroud
Like eyes
O so many miles away
Divided by changes
The rain is not safe to drink
I died, you died, we died in friendly fire
We took, we took these precious things for granted
Now they‘re melting away
Like the hands of an old watch
And when all we love is
But a leaf on a lone wind
When all the words are much too weak
To save the essence
Then we‘re hoping and yearning
Then we‘re crying and learning
That even though the stars don‘t shine
We feel their presence
And some lights
They do not fade as distance grows
They’re shining in hiding
To take a long way round
And these summers
They’re much too beautiful to stay
Remember them softly
To not break what is left
I died, you died, we died in friendly fire
We took, we took these precious things for granted
Now they sliver and tremble
Like a branch on an old tree
When all we love is
But a leaf on a lone wind
When all the words are much too weak
To save the essence
Then we‘re hoping and yearning
Then we‘re crying and learning
That even though the stars don‘t shine
We feel their presence
Then we‘re crying and learning
That even though the stars don‘t shine
We know their brilliance
Then we‘re hoping and yearning
Then we‘re crying and learning
And even though the stars don‘t shine
I feel your light
