lyrics

STARLIGHT
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

Shipwrecked
heartbroken
living underneath
your roof again
it took so long
to find these words
I know I'll stop crying
but I don't know when

I said everything
I had to say
so I held your hand
'cause you'd have held mine
I felt you slip away
and I knew I'd never see you again
And I don't believe in ghosts

so how can I have hope?

It's been years now
we've been apart
trying to make this place my own
but I feel like I'm pushing you out
and I could feel these words
cracking through my chest

So here I lie
trying to sleep tonight
and there you lie
waiting to be starlight

Someday this Earth will burn
and scatter the things that were you and me
to the edges of the universe
we'll fly and dance and tumble
in and out of each other
at the speed of light
for billions of years

past magellanic clouds
past super novas
past planets filled with life
filled with fathers and sons

everything we've ever known
everyone we've ever loved
traveling on
nothing is destroyed

who needs Heaven?
