Secrets of the Stars

The only time I've ever heard the voice of God Was in the silence of the night In the arms of the one I love Staring at the ceiling up above Like it contained the secrets of the stars Anytime I ever woke up in a dream I saw my shadow there, staring back at me Moving through the walls and wondering As all the world rose up inside of me And I long to hear the melody That I one time played inside my mind And to love another helplessly So breathing feels like putting out a fire Anytime my life flashes in front of me I see a child there, as if on a screen Standing in the shadows, flickering For a moment I know what it means All this time I lived inside a memory Daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seam Severing the ties and trembling Losing our voices in the wind And I long to hear the melody That I one time played inside my mind And to love another helplessly So breathing feels like putting out a fire
