I’ve been looking for meaning
Wherever I can find it
The stars and the wind have been my guides
Their promises are binding
Like the weary traveler i am I take refuge in the night
Like the heartbroken woman I am still nothing feels right
But the stars continue shining
And the wind is still pining for me to be free
I’ve been looking for answers
To what that word even means
And of course I hear the wind singing
But that no longer satisfies me
And like a star on her deathbed I’m shining spectacularly
And like everyone ever I am dying
But the flames still dance on the wind
And the songs continue burning within me yearning to be free
And I’ve been looking for you
Like you’ve been looking for me
I see the stars in your eyes from quite some distance away
But you hear my song on the wind and you know you can’t stay
Like star crossed lovers we’re aliens to each other
I just want to know why
But I will never know why
And I don’t know if that’s enough to stop the cold, to keep me from looking up at the sky
