Lyrics
Could you not stay awake
And watch with me awhile?
The ebon pinion falls across my eyes
Does it frighten you to think
That the lone celestial fire
Is seen from so far away that it's already died?
Maybe you're right and I'm the fool
More of wolf under the wool
Under the moon, howling alone
When you feel the drift from the binary star
You watch the barycenter fading from afar
To reach from worlds, to hold the other tight
What was the dream to be a single point of light
Could you not stay away?
No, not for all my life
You talk like you believe that we can survive
I've got promises to keep
I've got water towers to weep
I've got champagne flutes to bleed before I call it a night
Maybe you're right and I'm the fool
More of wolf under the wool
Under the stairs, howling alone
When you feel the drift from the binary star
You watch the barycenter fading from afar
To reach from worlds, to hold the other tight
What was the dream to be a single point of light
