lyrics

My room is full of you
You're still everywhere
I can still hear you pacing at night
And feel you getting in bed and hugging me

And I keep writing songs for you
Songs to keep you company
And I still think about you
Are you still thinking of me?

Can we see something that the people can't grasp?
You know we're two strangers in our marvelous past
Just you and me

Do we belong in this conscious world
Where the people are fighting for a stupid goal?
They're not themselves

And I know you must shine wherever you are

Time can be a dangerous thing
When it is slipping away
Sometimes I find myself wondering
Should or shouldn't I call you
'Cos I need to know that you're alright out there
In their world

Can we see something that the people can't grasp?
You know we're two real people in a fake world
Just you and me

We don't belong in this righteous town
Where the people are losing sleep because they ought to
They want to lose the chains
They won't

And I know you must shine wherever you are

You're a star wherever you are

And I can hear you call my name

You're a star wherever you are
