[Verse 1]
The stars are out tonight
The breeze is warm and light
As I'm walking right back to you
Along the dreaming road, the only way to go
When I'm travelling by our code that north is true
Once upon a time, these same bright stars did shine
Down the center line leading here
Nearly thirty years ago, now the map is stained and old
But on the dreaming road the coast is clear
I loved you more than life
And I guess that's why I died
When you would not love me back
I couldn't survive
And so the girl I was turned into someone else
Keeping to myself and from the light
I wasn't odd or strange, just quietly rearranged
Sometimes the biggest change stays out of sight
[Verse 2]
So without plot or clue
I ran away from you
I was twenty-two
Drunk in Amsterdam
Got robbed in Paris, France
Got home on one last chance
And without a backward glance I began again
And the days just kept on rolling and I just kept on going
Without a thought of ever slowing down
I made this long road mine
But it was not the dreaming kind
Too many lost souls trying to get found
But beneath this ancient sky
One night we did collide
And the hole I thought was sealed opened wide
I tried so hard again
Not to fall back in
But you had me then
By the throat
And a strange serenity came washing over me
Almost peacefully I felt the rope
The stars are out tonight
The breeze is warm and light
As I'm walking right back to you
Along the dreaming road, the only way to go
When I'm travelling by our code that north is true
Once upon a time, these same bright stars did shine
Down the center line leading here
Nearly thirty years ago, now the map is stained and old
But on the dreaming road the coast is clear
I loved you more than life
And I guess that's why I died
When you would not love me back
I couldn't survive
And so the girl I was turned into someone else
Keeping to myself and from the light
I wasn't odd or strange, just quietly rearranged
Sometimes the biggest change stays out of sight
