When Heaven Came Alive (Live)

I stepped outside and heaven came alive —
diamonds sprawled across black velvet sky.
You and I spoke in pantomime,
hoping for connection and foiled by time.

Not long ago I was alone in a crowded room,
although by my volition I stayed on my own.
Fate can be mercurial, an endless dark unknown,
but now I see you're Light, shining through the cosmos.

Those pinpricks of daylight remind me that I'm small,
but to trivialize our discourse would gain nothing at all.
Lend me your telescope so I can see you when you're far away
and we can stare together into the starry depths of the Milky Way.
Fate's ambivalence was burning me away,
but I see your halo shining like that pearl of a moon —
I'm so glad you've come my way.

It's like the sky swallowed winter, all those snowflakes of light:
colder, shorter days swept away by summer midnight.

Do you listen to the radio to remember days gone by,
like blue fading in an apricot sky?
Now it's night, and you're Light across that darkening twilight.
Scintillating diamonds make me wish we had more time.

Those pinpricks of daylight remind me that I'm small,
but to trivialize our discourse would gain nothing at all.
Lend me your telescope so I can see you when you're far away
and we can stare together into the starry depths of the Milky Way.
Fate's ambivalence was burning me away,
but I see your halo shining like that pearl of a moon —
I wish that you could stay.

Fate's ambivalence was burning me away,
but I see your halo shining like that pearl of a moon —
I'm so glad you've come my way.
Those pinpricks of daylight remind me that I'm small,
but to trivialize our discourse would gain nothing at all.
Lend me your telescope so I can see you when you're far away
and we can stare together into the starry depths of the Milky Way.
