from the back of your big brown eyes

i knew you'd be gone as soon as you could

and i hoped you would

we could see that you weren't yourself

and the lines on your face did tell

it's just as well

you'd never be yourself again



saw you last night

dance by the light of the moon

stars in your eyes

free from the life that you knew



you're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground

you're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round

trading places with an angel now



saw you last night

dance by the light of the moon

stars in your eyes

free from the life that you knew

saw you last night

stars in your eyes

smiled in my room
