Sky Fall

Strolling in the moonlight
 Looking up at the stars
 Finding one at midnight
 To be your celestial  avatar

 The sky becomes a metaphor
 For a love that's yet to be
 And all the words we try to say
 Just keep slipping away

 Dawn will find us dreaming
 About our yesterdays
 Haunted by the schemings
 of emotions gone astray

The sky becomes a metaphor
 For a love that's yet to be
 And all the words we try to say
 Just keep slipping away
