Stargazer Lyrics

Track 10. Stargazer

Stargazer—JULY 1989

[Verse 1]

I walk until the streetlights faded,

The city's glow fell far behind.

The radio became a whisper,

Then gave the night a chance to shine.

Gravel singing underneath me,

Crickets keeping steady time,

Just the wind and quiet breathing,

Leaving all the noise behind.

[Pre-Chorus]

At first there were only a handful,

Tiny diamonds in the blue.

But the longer that I stayed there,

The more the darkness let them through.

[Chorus]

So I lay beneath forever,

With a sky too wide to hold.

Every worry that I carried

Started feeling small somehow.

Not because they disappeared,

Not because they weren't still true,

But I found my little heartbeat

In a universe so huge.

[Verse 2]

I traced patterns with my finger,

Counted satellites drift by.

Then a shooting star reminded me

Some moments never ask us why.

Every beam that reached my eyes tonight

Left its home so long ago,

Traveling across the silence

Just so someone here would know.

[Bridge]

Maybe somewhere on this planet,

Someone's lying where I am.

Looking at the very same sky,

Dreaming dreams they understand.

Though we'll never know each other,

Though we'll never speak a word,

For a moment we're connected

By the oldest light on Earth.

[Final Chorus]

So I'll lie beneath forever,

Thankful for this borrowed view.

Every star a quiet promise,

Every breath begins anew.

I'm a whisper in the cosmos,

Just one voice beneath the blue,

And somehow that's more than enough—

I get to see this, too.

I get to see this, too.
