As the night draws on, I know just where you are. There in my window, I see a distant star. I wake up in the morning, and you are nowhere to be found. To my surprise time wanders on, and with it I am bound. Oh I see, you are near and you are far, above this life I lead, you are a distant star. I search all those pages, I still can't understand. The books go floor to ceiling, in each one I see your hand. As I wander through the maze, I look for crumbs you might have left, such a complicated miracle, such an enigmatic mess. Oh I see, you are near and you are far, above this life I lead, you are a distant star. The traffic flows by, the waves keep coming in. My head full of days spent, and days yet to spend. The phone is always busy, and voices speak your name. The air is full of your words, that haunt me just the same. Oh I see, you are near and you are far, above this life I lead, you are a distant star. The ones who came to visit, your legacy, not mine. The poets and the critics, who gathered by your side. Still the sun climbs up each morning, then slides back down again. I was always your salvation, you are with me to the end. Oh I see, you are near and you are far. Above this life I lead, you are a distant star.
