lyrics

I don’t know
When something came loose
Or the shadow took hold
And I pray
By the light of the moon
We will leave here someday

Back to the night
Eternal wonder, shining so bright
Back to the sky
In heaven’s hands, we will dance, you and I

And when I’m old
And I can’t hear the rolling thunder
Will you hold me close
When I’m going under the waves

They crash
Grain by grain, beach by beach
They strip away at the ground beneath
And toss ashore
All the light and the love that I came back for
All the light and the love

And when I’m old
And I can’t hear the rolling thunder
Will you hold me close
When I’m going under?
And when we dance
And we will find the meaning and the time
In this ancient rime
Of life

I’m going home on a shooting star
I’m going home on a shooting star
I’m going home on a shooting star
I’m going home on a shooting star

And when I’m old
And I can’t hear the rolling thunder
Will you hold me close when I’m going under the waves?
