Stars

I’ve been told that some stars in the sky
Shine a light from stars that have died long ago
That explains when I look in your eyes
I see the light of a love that died long ago

When the fire is dead
How can it be that the sparks still fly?
The ghost you left in my bed
The stars you stole from my empty sky
Still shine in my head

I will ask of the stars in the sky
If it’s true they’re no longer alive anymore
Can they still keep on shining their light
So that I might find my way home tonight

When the fire is dead
How can it be that the sparks still fly?
The ghost you left in my bed
The stars you stole from my empty sky
Still shine in my head

So I ask of the light in your eyes
The ghost of a love that died long ago
Can you still keep on shining, shining your light?
So that I might find my way home one more night
Tonight
