Words and music by Roddy Frame
|
|
I'm losing my direction
|
Something's come between us
|
It's gettin' hard to do right
|
I'm searchin' for a sign
|
They've split us into sections
|
I'm from Mars and your from Venus
|
But stranded in the daylight
|
Nothin' is defined
|
But as the late summer honey light
|
Shifts and caresses the buildings...
|
|
Dark starry eyes
|
Searching the skies
|
Because it's hidden from view
|
Don't mean it isn't for you
|
You know we're gonna make it
|
We've only gotta take it
|
Cos' it's a dark, dark sky
|
Holds the North Star high
|
And guides us and bathes us
|
In stillness and sameness and blue
|
|
I've made a big decision
|
In the light of the eternal
|
I'm gonna be your mirror
|
And you can mirror me
|
I'll see you in the bright star
|
Cushioned by the dark sky
|
Reflected in the river
|
Flowing to the sea
|
And as the reasons and rumours recede
|
Dyin' on the lesseing breeze
|
|
Sweet starry eyes
|
Immune to surprise
|
Because it's hidden from view
|
Don't mean it isn't for you
|
You know we're gonna make it
|
We've only gotta take it
|
And it's a dark, dark sky
|
Holds the North Star high
|
And guides us and bathes us
|
In stillness and sameness and blue
|
|
And blue is the colour of my heart
|
Since you blew my senses apart
|
The feeling we're back at the start never ends
|
As clusters of heavenly jewels
|
Gaze down on Earth's lonely fools
|
Turnin' and twistin'
|
Resisting the pull of a fate that's already planned
|
They can't understand
|
|
Dark starry eyes
|
Searching the skies
|
Because it's hidden from view
|
Don't mean it isn't for you
|
You know we're gonna make it
|
We've only gotta take it
|
It's a dark, dark sky
|
Holds the North Star high
|
And guides us and bathes us
|
In stillness and sameness and blue
|
I'm placing my faith in the brilliance
|
Of the bright stars and you.
