The stars are out tonight
Come, look at them glisten.
Let me tell you my thoughts
And let the stars listen.
There's a place I heard tell
Between foul and fair
That under reticent light
Our shadows are there.
I've sat there, perhaps,
In the dark of the day
And in your aimless spell
We watch our shadows play.
They dance from the world
In a mottled embrace.
They tease at my feet
And I vainly give chase.
When my mind closes in,
I can't touch you, you're gone.
Then I burn the world -
So the shadows play on.
The stars are out tonight
Herald the end of the day.
When time has no meaning
We watch our shadows play.
