[Verse 1] You arrive where the quiet has gathered its dust, With a tired little compass that trembles in trust; Your fears wear pale rings in the dark overhead, While a small silver weather turns warm in your head; I give you a doorway no daylight can name, And a pocket of winter that answers your flame; Take these slow-burning planets, these keys made of air— They will loosen the knots you have carried with care. Welcome, where the farthest stars remember you. [Extended Instrumental Break] [Instrumental: floating pads, fingerpicked guitar, soft brushwork, distant humming] [Verse 2] What would you ask if the silence came near, And placed every want you conceal in your ear? Nothing is waiting beyond what you know, Yet everything follows the places you go; Your old broken dreams still keep time in the room, Your shattered bright visions make shelter from gloom; You learned all the hours that the sleepless ones keep, And walked through the blue while the houses were asleep; Let the air leave a space, let the low planets ring, Let the unseen refrain find the shape of your singing; The distance will soften, the room will grow wide, And the dark will turn gently, with you at its side. Welcome, where the farthest stars remember you. [Outro] Welcome, where the farthest stars remember you... Where the farthest stars remember you... Remember you... remember you...
