the stars dance like fireflies
they shine on your tears tonight
my fingers are reaching for you,
grasping, feeling, yearning for you
you're so close to me,
but you're still so far

on broken wings, i fall into your arms
under the midnight sun, your warmth all around
just hold me tonight, as the stars fall
keep me close, and cry me a lullaby

you kiss, like roses on my lips,
take me away beyond the twilight
the quiet end to a chaotic passion,
i close your eyes as we slowly drift away...

and on broken wings, i fall into your arms
under the midnight sun, your warmth all around
just hold me tonight, as the stars fall
keep me close, and cry me a lullaby

and let the tears become one with the stars...
