Intro:
Verse:
At the window by yourself
I'm outside with everyone else
hold yourself against the chill and
look at me with no expression
in the eyes I know so well
is a question and a spell
an astronomer all my life I've
never seen a light so pale
Chorus:
the night is clear when the stars a-
-ppear I recite their names
the farthest lights only now a-
-rrive wonder how they've changed
Verse:
everybody says goodbye
driving off into the night
I look up when the moon comes out then
shut the gate and go inside
more distant every day
I will ask but you won't say
Do I watch the sky too much fa-
-miliar and so far away
Chorus:
the stars appeared but they're always
there up above the day
the farthest lights take us back in
time wonder how they've changed
Break:
Chorus:
the stars appeared but they're always
there up above the day
the farthest lights only now a-
-rrive wonder how they've changed
