I stand beneath a midnight sky
I see a shooting star.
I close my eyes and make a wish,
and send myself so far away.

Thinking of what once had been,
the who and where and when.
The only one beside me still,
is my shadow in the end.

The man I see before me
is one that I don't know.
But I've learned to fake that smile.
And in the end I just go...

far away, so very far away
not sure where I'm going,
but I'd like somewhere to stay.

a place that I can call my own
something for which to care
anything to remind me
that I am really there

so shooting star please take my wish
hear my thoughts and grant me this
make a whole man out of me
and clear the clouds so I can see

so far away, and to a bed where i can lay
so far away, so very far away
