Lyrics

Sun sinks low, night draws in, Now is the time for stargazing I left my home, I thought I would die, But then I was shown we're still under the same sky I once dreamt I was a singer on the stage And somebody might hear what I had to say But then I awoke, I found my life was not my own My brother took me to look for stars, Somewhere so far from home Well, singing and stargazing, in the end, They're much the same Searching for harmony in the great dance Of all things, Caught between the cold, cold earth, And the never, never clouds, Dreaming yourself into other worlds One day I'll find the gods, up in their high, High halls And I'll ask them how do they ever manage Not to fall? I'll curtesy very low through The telescope's frame And I'll ask them if my life has lived In vain.
