The stars will fade again this morning
They died a million years ago
As if to give a little warning...
you've lost your way back home
You left me here without a fire
as if desire has turned to stone
When stars come out to light the evening
they're ghosts of stars, that leave without a song
The moon, ..was drifting,.... watching for the sunrise,
while waiting for the light of dawn
While I was watching at the window.....
however, knowing ... ....you wouldn't come
While, there are dreams that last forever....
some dreams will simply fade away,
And treasured times that we remember
we must surrender in the light of day
..............interlude music.................
I've watched the sun unlatch the gate to morning
I hesitate to leave the window's ledge
Your pillow lies untouched beside the bed
The stars up in the sky... have long been dead
One star is telling me it is morning
It seems the others simply strayed
Some things we want to last forever
are illusions we have cherished, but will often fade away
will often fade away........
as if they're made to stray away.......
