You Were Light
i remember when you were light
you were the star that shined so bright
you were young with fire and oh so brave
hoping to see a bold new day
chorus
when you were light
in the dark of night
in the wild and danger galaxy
i was caught up in my history
tattered by the dust of meteors
all i needed was to be yours
chorus
and at the point of decay
i was saved by the warmth of your rays
i opened my eyes and saw the light
and in the darkness you were light
yes you were white
and you were right
to restore my sight
and my fight
when you wore white
in the dark of night
yes you were light
in the dark of night
i read the stars in july when the moon said beware i looked at them with close eyes and a hopeful stare and they said a lot without saying a word
without saying a word about the things that were never said
and things that were never heard things between you and me that they could not have known things they had to have seen without eyes of their own for they saw a lot without seeing a thing
without seeing a thing about the things that were never seen never there to be seen like the things that were killed with a few soft words and the legacy billed before it was heard
and they felt a lot without
feeling a thing
without feeling a thing
about the things that were not a thing
things that were not a thing a lifetime for the estranged exiled to a hidden star far beyond the sonic waves sent by the beating heart and they heard a lot without hearing the sound
without hearing the sound
about the things that didn't make a sound
they never made a sound
far away is our never / far away
far away the more we’re tethered / far away
far away we will remember / far away
far away we are forever / far away
