No, there is nothing you need to say I know the reason you're gonna go; it's ok I was up in my mind, and you only were kind Saw a shadow behind, though, and I gazed at the glow of a long-dead star I never picked up the language right Spoke 'til I dreamed in the broken words each night There's a smile in my sighs, but it won't reach the eyes Just a lazy disguise, not half as true as the glow of a long-dead star Now, I sit up by the empty wall Wish for the one I would never choose at all From the plane up at noon, now the earth's like the moon But it'll be better soon; why should we ache for the glow of a long-dead star
