Could you not stay awake And watch with me awhile? The ebon pinion falls across my eyes Does it frighten you to think That the lone celestial fire Is seen from so far away that it's already died? Maybe you're right and I'm the fool More of wolf under the wool Under the moon, howling alone When you feel the drift from the binary star You watch the barycenter fading from afar To reach from worlds, to hold the other tight What was the dream to be a single point of light Could you not stay away? No, not for all my life You talk like you believe that we can survive I've got promises to keep I've got water towers to weep I've got champagne flutes to bleed before I call it a night Maybe you're right and I'm the fool More of wolf under the wool Under the stairs, howling alone When you feel the drift from the binary star You watch the barycenter fading from afar To reach from worlds, to hold the other tight What was the dream to be a single point of light
