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
