The Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When you found him he was lying in the road You held him in your arms so he was safe And you talked for hours, soft and quiet You watched the light change as if you came from it And you both laughed at the dumb things we repeat That buy us time or keep us with the other sheep We marry our fear but what makes the night not so deep Is someone to watch over us while we sleep [Chorus] You found him lying on the road You traveled miles but never got too far He lost his heart when you were bringing out the stars When you were bringing out the stars [Verse 2] And you said, "Isn't the night beautiful?" "Do you feel the weightlessness at the heart of things?" It made him laugh because it made him remember How easy it is to love [Chorus] In your arms, they were everything They filled the sky like Jimi's sad that guitar And he lost his heart when you were bringing out the stars When you were bringing out the stars When you were bringing out the stars When you were bringing out the stars [Verse 3] Then in the morning he walked you down He knew he had to let you go And all day long he wore a smile 'Cause he saw the joy that's waiting for his soul
