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
