what i stayed awake for
i stayed awake for the stars and they
did not disappoint;
they followed me around
like bright spirits,
silver in a sea of empty night
yeah I watched as the sun bade goodbye
to the sky
leaving a blue glow nestled in the crook
of a giant’s shoulder
and small burning angels stole heaven
i stayed awake to pass through
the town where you
were staying
and the sleeping streetlights told me
you knew that i was there
so I put a hundred miles of mountains in between us
yeah I put a hundred miles
of mountains in between us
and watched the moon get good and drunk
on silence.
