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
