|
A window opened in the sky |
|
The night that we first kissed |
|
And though we slept beneath the stars |
|
You were wide awake |
|
I lay bewildered by your touch |
|
Heard your almost sighs |
|
Felt your tears fall on my skin |
|
As if you'd break |
|
You saw the end in our beginning |
|
Strange the way it goes |
|
Was your heart too shadowed by your scars? |
|
You whispered, "This can never be" |
|
As you looked into the sky |
|
What did you see inside the stars? |
|
And in the end, you couldn't bear |
|
What you could not control |
|
So with one unfinished prayer |
|
I let you disappear |
|
So many words you never said |
|
So many songs that died |
|
What pulled us from each other's arms was fear |
|
And now you come and stand before me? |
|
After all these years |
|
You pull me in and tell me you were wrong |
|
But don't you know the summer's over? |
|
Oh, you waited too long |
|
What did you see inside the stars? |
|
You know we had a chance that summer |
|
I should not have let go |
|
Should have ripped those stars out of the sky |
|
I always knew you loved me |
|
You would not let it show |
|
Do you know how long I've wondered why? |
|
And now you come and stand before me |
|
After all these years |
|
You pull me in and tell me you were wrong |
|
But don't you know the summer's over? |
|
Oh, you waited too long |
|
Was there such danger in the stars? |
|
Why did you sink into the stars? |
|
What did you see inside the stars? |
