Watching the Sky

Velvet thoughts of what once was
Line the road to who we are
Lets the night define her day
As darkness falls into her gaze
Far away from the light
All her enemies inside
Let this beauty slip away
There’s no before
Just here and now
Our feet are firmly on the ground
Watch the sky from where we stand
Looks for something lost at sea
It’s in her hands for all to see
Cries for something she can’t find
A warm embrace, a starry sky
Far away from the light
All her enemies inside
Let this beauty slip away
There’s no before
Just here and now
Our feet are firmly on the ground
Watch the sky from where we stand
If you go away
I’ll be waiting here
However long
I’ll be waiting here
