To fight the battle between darkness and light

There he is sitting all alone...

He found the starry sky one night, a secret he will keep



There is a house next to the station

It's not abandoned any more

You see the lights up at the station

Somebody's living there for sure

No one's ever stayed inside up there till dawn arrives



There was some damage to the spacecraft

So now they're stuck in outer space

Something went wrong down at the lift-off

Two billion miles or more away

"We'll send another capsule

so they may be back in June..."



He lit a candle from the fireplace

Sat on the floor and watched it breathe

See the Lightkeeper finally found his place

And he won't rise, won't fall asleep



Our lives are lying there before us, awaiting

So many ways to make it right

And still they're all the same to me

These stars all look the same



And still they're all the same to me

These days are all the same
