[Intro – barely-there vocals, maybe just a single reverb-drenched guitar note] The thread of life Was cut short by Fate My friend is gone… …forever All the people on the street Live their lives Why can’t he? [Interlude – ethereal, almost spoken over soft pads] The stars in the sky are angels Of our friends and family… [Verse 1 – intimate, close-mic’d] Can you see me through the night? I just need someone to hold me Your embrace warms my frozen soul I pray to God you won’t let go [Verse 2 – a little more air, slight ache in the voice] Please just see me through the night Tomorrow I’ll be on my way But tonight I know what I see is true I lost my friend and now I’ve lost you [Chorus – the heart of the song, let it swell here] When I was a young boy My mother, she said to me The stars in the sky are angels Of our friends and family She said, If you look very hard Their star will shine just a little more So, here I sit, tears and the stars Wondering which star is yours [Verse 3 – lower energy again, resigned] They say that time will heal our wounds But the scars last forevermore She is gone to live her life And I’m just walking out the door [Outro – everything strips away until it’s just voice + distant tremolo guitar] The thread of life Was cut short by Fate My friend is gone… …forever My frozen soul Prays to God… …which star is yours? Which star is yours? Which star is yours…
