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.
