Hoodoo Gurus - The Stars Look Down lyrics

I made a paper plane And threw it into space. It seemed to float forever. No telling where it went, Snatched by a sudden breeze It sails the wide, blue yonder. I know my aeroplane Fell back to earth again But i pretend It never. One moonless, summer night, We'll lie back counting stars, Like diamonds on black velvet. We'll see the satellites Fly past the southern cross And laugh as they observe us. Somewhere a river flows And whispers in the dark A story near-eternal. It speaks of mountain rain, Valleys and open plain And hungers for The ocean. I don't wanna die. Tonight, the setting sun Blood-stained this ragged day And left our hopes in tatters But then the twilight came And covered up our shame Without a trace of pity. Always the stars look down, The heavens never care, They only watch, unblinking. I don't wanna die. I made a paper plane And threw it into space.
