Celestial Spies
Celestial Spies.
The mystical patterns that swim in my tears
Reflect all my memories, reveal all my fears
The stars watched every night, when we walked hand in hand
Thought our secrets were safe, but our future was planned
We were sculpted by destiny, twisted by fate
We were shackled by time, though we outlived the wait
It might never have been, but then hope took the chance
Shook our lives with a dream and the briefest romance
A part-time love that I couldn’t abide by
It was under the stars that we let our love die
Orion wondered if we’d pass the test
While under Saturn’s waltz we laid our love to rest
Wish upon a falling star and catch a lonely tear
Think of me, the next full moon or the same time every year
When Venus is crying because love lost its way
Dry the tears from her eyes, tell her I couldn’t stay
If someone should ask what the stars knew those nights
Say they watched for a while and then turned out the lights
And if anyone asks if I ever knew love
I’ll say look to the skies as the answer’s above
A part-time love that I couldn’t abide by
It was under the stars that we let our love die
Orion wondered if we’d pass the test
While under Saturn’s waltz we laid our love to rest.
