Distant As the Stars

I raise my eyes
This canvas sky is neon black tonight
And it's orbiting forever
Scattered timeless treasures
Hover divided in an endless sea
Of deep, deep dark

Alight upon this halo moon
Piercing the night, a light
Another night alone
My gravity collapses
Illuminated crystal bright
In a blanket of black, black light
That is where I find you

Distant as the stars
I burn for you silent in the dark
As distant as the stars
But you remain for me morning, noon and night
As splendid as the sky
As distant as the stars

Standing close to you
I can touch you but I can't reach you
Not the way I want to
Not the way I dream I do
The clouds are closer now than any chance I have of being able to have you
Just the way I want to

As distant as the stars
I burn for you silent in the dark
As distant as the stars
But you remain for me morning, noon and night
As splendid as the sky
As distant as the stars

Distant as the stars
But even stars burn out in time this will fade (I would burn it all)
As distant as the stars
But you still see the embers of the life I'd burn to have you (I'd still burn it all)
As distant as the stars
I yearn to touch just a part of what you are
As distant as the stars
You will always be winter, spring or fall
The brightest of them all
