The Stars

When you found him he was lying in the road

You held him in your arms so he was safe

And you talked for hours, soft and quiet

You watched the light change as if you came from it

And you both laughed at the dumb things we repeat

That buy us time or keep us with the other sheep

We marry our fear but what makes the night not so deep

Is someone to watch over us while we sleep

You found him lying on the road

You traveled miles but never got too far

He lost his heart when you were bringing out the stars

When you were bringing out the stars

And you said

Isn’t the night beautiful

Feel the weightlessness

At the heart of things

It made him laugh

‘Cause it made him remember

How easy it is

To love to

Your arms

They were everything

They fill the sky

Like Jimi’s guitar

And he lost his heart

When you were bringing out the stars

Then in the morning

He walked you down

He knew

He had to let you go

And all day he wore

A smile

‘Cause he saw the joy

That’s waiting for his soul
