when I stood with you in a crowded room
we built beneath the cedar boughs
I watched as a star, a light from afar
shone down and set our spirits free
a ring of pure light through the blood red night
we were at once in orbit bound, me and you between
now we sit alone in our empty home
just waiting for tomorrow’s dawn
with parallax eyes, sidereal sighs
but there’s no place I’d rather be
and when the day comes, when this night is done
there will at last be a new song you and I can sing
it's that song I can't sing
the one star I don't see
the same sun, the same light
you’re the moon in my night
and I know that my sun’s still out there, somewhere
because I can see my moon shining
with brilliance rare and a beauty serene
