[Instrumental intro, short] [Verse 1] Waiting for a spark in the sheet-white sky Each year the blue fades out and leaves us While clouds turn to mist and whisper “why?” Yes I know the world is changing [Verse 2] I hope to live and witness Halley shine But I feel my body getting older Each day I’m searching for the clearest sign For the sea between us seeps onto land My long-lost verdant forest turned to dust And I can no longer reach for your hand [Chorus 1] Gaze up at the stars The night is still ours I’d build a boat but where’s the trees? Ohh how I’m missing your cool breeze [Instrumental break, short] [Verse 3] The streak will span a hundred thousand miles Maybe I’ll look at the display with you Though far apart we might share the same smiles Since Earth has changed there’s nothing more to do [Chorus 2] Gaze up at the stars The night is still ours I’d build a boat but where’s the trees? Ohh how I’m missing your cool breeze [Instrumental break, short] [Bridge] If you and I could just hold on We’d see the light, at the same time Emerging in the morning dawn [Chorus 3, sparse] Gaze up at the stars The night is still ours I’d build a boat but where’s the trees? Ohh how I’m missing your cool breeze [Instrumental outro, long]
