lyrics

Beneath the stars gently wavering
The satellites relaying
Memories
I see your face slowly float by
Behind my closed eyes
Endlessly

Do you tuck the times beneath your thumbs
Do you still taste them on your tongue
Are they memories you can have but never hold?
Do they trickle up your spine
And percolate into your mind
Or do they have you by the heart and by the soul?

Beneath the clouds aggregating
Evaporating
Everywhere
The sighs we exhale when we're thinking
Are all comingling
In the air

Do you hide your dreams beneath your hair
Or do you send them off like prayers
Are they things that you can hold but never keep?
Are these reveries like ghosts
To which your body just plays host
Or are they with you when you wake and when you sleep?

Beneath the trees gently swaying
Like shadows praying
Over me
I like awake in the moonlight
Wondering where you might
Chance to be

Do you wonder about what might have been
And all that could be yet again
And all the things that you can think but never know?
Do all the words we left unsaid
Reverberate inside your head
Or echo back from times bygone so long ago?

You can think and think again but never know
And only time and time alone can tell you so
