the stars lean down to kiss you
and I lie awake and miss you
pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
. . .
'cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
but I'll miss your arms around me
i'd send a postcard to you, dear
'cause I wish you were here
. . .
i'll watch the night turn light-blue
but it's not the same without you
because it takes two to whisper quietly
. . .
the silence isn't so bad
'til I look at my hands and feel sad
'cause the spaces between my fingers
are right where yours fit perfectly
. . .
i'll find repose in new ways
though I haven't slept in two days
'cause cold nostalgia
chills me to the bone
. . .
but drenched in vanilla twilight
i'll sit on the front porch all night
waist-deep in thought because
when I think of you I don't feel so alone
. . .
i don't feel so alone,i don't feel so alone
. . .
as many times as I blink
i'll think of you tonight
i'll think of you tonight
. . .
when violet eyes get brighter
and heavy wings grow lighter
i'll taste the sky and feel alive again
. . .
and I'll forget the world that I knew
but I swear I won't forget you
oh, if my voice could reach
back through the past
i'd whisper in your ear
oh darling, I wish you were here
❤
