In the dead of the night, we will stare at the stars, at the stars
A strange light will take and will illuminate
For the moment we'll forget who we are
In a flash I'll be thrown left to crawl through the dark on my own
And the silence I'll tame, but keep plucking my strings all the same

When I wake you'll be there with a smile and a hand reaching down
And we'll go to the movies and kiss in your car, in your car
And I'll watch as you tend to your trinkets and play with your hair
We will float, we will fly, it is you 'til there's nothing else there

When you blink you will find that she's left you behind
Swept up and away on the breeze
And you know she’ll return, but you don’t know when
And you’ll know it too well, as you knew it back then
You will stop, you will pick up a pen
