Many days and nights pass ’til I see you once again Leaving me to wonder if it would happen again Back to words and names, I go to try and paint your light Across the sky I lift my brush but splatter junk on it instead Striving for your elegance is hurting us instead When I try to go to sleep, I do not fall asleep Even on those nights when you are shining through my shades If I close my eyes, the world simply ceases to be When I open them a moment later, hours have passed Night has changed to day; all of my dreams are in the past If I do wake up from this illusion; this great song Stars would still be shining from each corner of the sky That is if the world is flat; if not then prove me wrong Take me from this point around the globe and back, just try Take me; let us see the stars from Points A, B, and C Let me see the stars from the center that follows me Reflecting on the pair of eyes that twinkle like the stars they see Let the twilight colors turn the globe ’round once again Stars are rising; one big Star is swallowed by the sea Giving way for other waves to join once more the sea Flowing with the current or against it, as some do, All are taken by the winds; delivered at some port Some will jibe and some will tack but either way at night; When the moon, along with stars, is giving out its light Let your sail blow in the wind and it will go all right Stars Dylan Vrins
