Silhouettes and Disguises

I'll let you know when I feel your spotlight starting to fade;
When the clouds connect, and the sunlight turns to shade.
But I swear I saw a star, and you swear you'd had enough.
Give me fortunes for your everlasting fame.
When I'm staring from afar
Through spells of tunnel vision,
Telescopic lenses are my own masquerade.

Would you turn out the lights in my head?
Could I sing the same songs to you from my bed?
Could you laugh the same
As you did back then when I would sing to you right from the stars?

And you swear you'd had enough of white lies and superstition.
There's somethin' that tells me that someday I will be the one
With your feathers in my hand.
Yet, you know, your spotlight's starting to fade.
The transmissions from a love that's burning away.
When I'm staring from afar
With this red-eyed tunnel vision,
Telescopic lenses are my own masquerade.

Would you turn out the lights in my head?
Could I sing the same songs to you from my bed?
Could you laugh the same
As you did back then when I would sing to you right from the stars?

But it's all in my head and it was just a dream...
