Starlight

I couldn't see a thing tonight,

Not one star.

Not one star has shone for you.

I couldn't see a thing tonight,

Not one star.

Not one star has shone for you.

I couldn't see a thing tonight,

Not one star.

Not one star has shone for you.

I couldn't see a thing tonight,

Not one star.

Not one star has shone for you.

I add a little candlelight to get through.

Oh, I couldn't see the moon tonight,

Not one wave.

Not one wave was out for you.

No, I couldn't see the pale moonlight,

Not one part.

Not one wave was coming through.

And I'm terrified to look outside,

Cause I need you.

Starlight makes it all the same.

No light and I feel the pain.

Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby.

Starlight and I feel the same.

Missed flight on this aeroplane.

I'd jump from a moving train,

Just to keep you.

Would you do it for me?

Oh, I couldn't see the sky tonight,

Not one star.

Not one star has shone for you.

Yeah, I had a real hard time tonight.

I still feel your breath.

Oh my love I hold for you.

And I think that I've been holding out,

To hold onto.

And I'm terrified to look outside,

Cause I need you.

Something about you is like,

Drinking a cold glass of water.

Everyone needs a place to go to sometimes.

Something about you is like,

Going against Mother Nature.

And I decide to face her every time.

Starlight makes it all the same.

No light and I feel the pain.

Starlight makes it all a game with you, baby.

Starlight and I feel the same.

Missed flight on this aeroplane.

I'd jump from a moving train,

Just to keep you.

Would you do it for me?

As I watch you walk across the street,

I keep wondering why I can't leave.

All the heavens are against me and you.

Do you even know a thing 'bout me?

Do you even think about my needs?

Cause I need you.

I couldn't see a thing tonight,

Not one star.

Not one star was out for you.
