Stardust In Your Hair

Our story wasn’t heaven
our ending even worse
my spaceship now flies solo
across the universe

if there’s any life on Mars
I haven’t got a clue
the only thing I know for sure
is I’m still loving you

searching through the galaxy
for stardust in your hair
we lost our love forever
our hearts beat no more there

flying through the universe
with orbits in my eyes
no twinkle star to wish upon
or wipe away my cries

the time is passing by
and I am growing old
you are always on my mind
my heart just won’t go cold

we left one million miles behind
your love has all gone
I haven’t reached a planet yet
to land my spaceship on

searching through the galaxy
for stardust in your hair
I lost your love forever
your heartbeat’s no more there

flying through the universe
I maybe won’t survive
the silence of your memory
it’s there that I arrive

Stardust In Your Hair

Our story wasn’t heaven
our ending even worse
my spaceship now flies solo 
across the universe

if there’s any life on Mars
I haven’t got a clue 
the only thing I know for sure 
is I’m still loving you 

searching through the galaxy 
for stardust in your hair 
we lost our love forever 
our hearts beat no more there

flying through the universe  
with orbits in my eyes 
no twinkle star to wish upon
or wipe away my cries

the time is passing by 
and I am growing old 
you are always on my mind 
my heart just won’t go cold 

we left one million miles behind 
your love has all gone 
I haven’t reached a planet yet 
to land my spaceship on 

searching through the galaxy 
for stardust in your hair 
I lost your love forever 
your heartbeat’s no more there

flying through the universe 
I maybe won’t survive 
the silence of your memory
it’s there that I arrive

Eclipsed Hearts

Our love was never heaven,  
and the ending, darker still -
my ship flies solo through the stars,  
a voyager at will.

Does life bloom solar red on Mars?  
I haven’t got a clue -
but all I know, with galaxies between,  
is I’m still lost in you.

I comb the endless skies for traces  
of stardust in your hair,  
yet where our love once thrived,  
no beating hearts are there.

Orbiting through the universe,  
with nebulae in my eyes,  
no shining star to wish upon,  
no hand to still my cries.

The years float by like comets,  
and I am growing old -
yet you, my constant shadow,  
leave my heart forever cold.

A million miles now in my wake,  
your love fades like the dawn.  
Still, I drift without a planet,  
no ground to land upon.

I search through every twilight  
for the glimmer of your face,  
but love’s light dims and fractures  
in the silence of this space.
