The stars woke me up last night
Burning brighter than I ever could remember
And I knew that you were gone
Fast, I stumbled out of bed
Pitching sideways like a boat upon rough water
Touched my face against the glass
And looking down upon the waves
The stars reflected on the sea
And on they stretched into the dark
In what seemed to me like infinity
But I'll keep swinging
No, love, I know
I'm not alone
I see you dancing in the cosmos
Farewell, alien
I'll see you again
When I look up to the stars
So dance wherever you are
You prettiest star
I'll leave the light on for whenever you come home
Pouring over memories
Thinking back about the stranger you accepted
You were everything to me
Tripping up upon the sand
Kicked in my face
This isn't all there is, you smiled
You made it seem ok
And as I listened to the tide
I swear I faintly heard you sing
There is more to love than life
I closed my eyes and breathed
No, love, I know
I'm not alone
I see you dancing in the cosmos
Farewell alien
I'll see you again
When I look up to the stars
Dance wherever you are
you prettiest star
And I'll leave the light on for whenever you come home
Dance, wherever you are
You're never too far
To show the nobodies we're somebodies, we are because you say we are
No, love, I know
I'm not alone
I see you dancing in the cosmos
Farewell alien
I'll see you again
When I look up to the stars
I won't let you fade
Look now, down on the shore
At all the lights you held so long
We hold them now
We'll pass them on
We'll miss you, Major Tom
