when starlight flows across the sky
I close my eyes and wonder why
some memories still gently ache
even as the night begins to break
let the stars wash over me
carry all I couldn't set free
fading like a breath once known
in the dark I cry alone
each flicker holds a ghost of you
reflections I once thought were true
but time has ways to softly dim
the edges where your light had been
let the stars wash over me
carry all I couldn't set free
fading like a breath once known
in the dark I cry alone
drift with me through silver air
forget the weight we used to bear
stars don't ask they only glow
so I'll let this silence grow
let the stars wash over me
and leave no trace no name to call
it's only light
it's only night
and I'll forget you by as light
