Freedy Johnston - The Farthest Lights lyrics

At the window by yourself I'm outside with everyone else Hold yourself against the chill And look at me with no expression In the eyes I know so well Is a question and a spell An astronomer all my life I've never seen a light so pale The night is clear When the stars appear I recite their names The farthest lights Only now arrive Wonder how they've changed Everybody says goodbye Driving off into the night I look up when the moon comes out Then shut the gate and go inside More distant every day I will ask but you won't say Do I watch the sky too much Familiar and so far away The stars appeared But they're always there Up above the day The farthest lights Take us back in time Wonder how they've changed
