|
To fight the battle between darkness and light |
|
There he is sitting all alone... |
|
He found the starry sky one night, a secret he will keep |
|
There is a house next to the station |
|
It's not abandoned any more |
|
You see the lights up at the station |
|
Somebody's living there for sure |
|
No one's ever stayed inside up there till dawn arrives |
|
There was some damage to the spacecraft |
|
So now they're stuck in outer space |
|
Something went wrong down at the lift-off |
|
Two billion miles or more away |
|
'We'll send another capsule |
|
so they may be back in June...' |
|
He lit a candle from the fireplace |
|
Sat on the floor and watched it breathe |
|
See the Lightkeeper finally found his place |
|
And he won't rise, won't fall asleep |
|
Our lives are lying there before us, awaiting |
|
So many ways to make it right |
|
And still they're all the same to me |
|
These stars all look the same |
|
And still they're all the same to me |
|
These days are all the same |
