The day is now ending, with a wink and a wave
In their dear constant ritual, the stars flicker their way
To the hearts of the people who wait for their light
To extinguish their fears of what lives in their night
A constant reminder of how little we are
With our misguided loyalty to what will buy us some time
So we'll keep up our pity and lower our shame
Through a spyglass all seeing, never accepting the blame
I'll be here in the light of the stars
I'll be here when the darkness arrives
You said you'd wait for me under the arms
Of an old oak tree in the light of the stars
♪
As if by some genius of both space and of time
We correct all our failings and render benign
All the uninspired souls, who are chasing their tails
Through life's man-made goals, how we love them to fail
I'll be here in the light of the stars
I'll be here when the darkness arrives
And you said you'd wait for me under the arms
Of an old oak tree in the light of the stars

I'll be here in the light of the stars
I'll be here when the darkness arrives
And you said you'd wait for me under the arms
Of an old oak tree in the light
An old oak tree in the light
An old oak tree in the light
An old oak tree in the light of the stars
In the light of the stars
In the light of the stars
In the light of the stars
