Words and music by roddy frame



I'm losing my direction

Something's come between us

It's gettin' hard to do right

I'm searchin' for a sign

They've split us into sections

I'm from mars and your from venus

But stranded in the daylight

Nothin' is defined

But as the late summer honey light

Shifts and caresses the buildings...



Dark starry eyes

Searching the skies

Because it's hidden from view

Don't mean it isn't for you

You know we're gonna make it

We've only gotta take it

Cos' it's a dark, dark sky

Holds the north star high

And guides us and bathes us

In stillness and sameness and blue



I've made a big decision

In the light of the eternal

I'm gonna be your mirror

And you can mirror me

I'll see you in the bright star

Cushioned by the dark sky

Reflected in the river

Flowing to the sea

And as the reasons and rumours recede

Dyin' on the lesseing breeze



Sweet starry eyes

Immune to surprise

Because it's hidden from view

Don't mean it isn't for you

You know we're gonna make it

We've only gotta take it

And it's a dark, dark sky

Holds the north star high

And guides us and bathes us

In stillness and sameness and blue



And blue is the colour of my heart

Since you blew my senses apart

The feeling we're back at the start never ends

As clusters of heavenly jewels

Gaze down on earth's lonely fools

Turnin' and twistin'

Resisting the pull of a fate that's already planned

They can't understand



Dark starry eyes

Searching the skies

Because it's hidden from view

Don't mean it isn't for you

You know we're gonna make it

We've only gotta take it

It's a dark, dark sky

Holds the north star high

And guides us and bathes us

In stillness and sameness and blue

I'm placing my faith in the brilliance

Of the bright stars and you.
