lyrics

The moon slowly rises
over Starr Pass Road.
I wait for light to leave me
I fall into the unknown
the wanderers of the night,
the planets, stars and moon
quietly raging from afar but they came
and they knew what to do.

A sky so dark she holds your hearts
she comes at dusk and needs your dark

Give me stars, give me dark
turn off the lights
give me stars, give me dark
protect the night.

I wanted to feel something
that was old, that was new
a distant light to remind me
of the time before the blue
we let our memories fade
when they’re just too much to hold.
Now I’m sifting through the grey,
the spectrum changes
and we might not ever know.

A sky with memories and maps
revealing her most distant pasts

Protect the night, before she goes
protect the night, she knows
we’re not who we ought to be...
