UNDER THE STARS

It’s been twelve days, my dear

These long and lonely days too will disappear

As soon as I feel your arms

Around me while we lay under the stars

Look up and tell me what you see?

Can you see me?

Psithurism wakes me up

We are protected by night

The sand’s still warm under us

Nothing’s ever felt this right

No, nothing’s ever felt this right

​

These twelve days have got me thinking

What is it that keeps my rocky boat from sinking

We sleep in the embrace of a song by the waves

Singing that all that's given must be taken away

Back and forth, back and forth it goes

In and out of our hearts the feeling flows

​

Can you tell the future from the stars, can you?

Could you see me somewhere in there with you?

​

I can see all the way

Into your soul in this light

Soon we’ll begin another day

Two beautiful minds, side by side

Two beautiful minds, side by side

​

I could never choose between a sunrise and a sunset

Why do people always want more than they can get?

I would never choose between a sunrise and a sunset

Both remind you that what you can't change you must accept

​

The stars helped me find you, see you, feel you

Will this feel so right in the daylight, too?
