I try to steer clear of your eyes Your touch still takes me down in flames But from these ashes I can’t rise To face this journey with no aim A pregnant pause turns poisonous The pendulum swings out of spite A sense of loss we can’t discuss As silence echoes through the night And so we wish upon the stars Life do us part Till death unites us If love has failed to find a way Then is this worthy of the name? The heartache of a dream denied Believe we’ll be together on the other side We’ll do much better in another life I see the fear behind your eyes Your words decry, they seldom praise When once your passion unified Oh, how I'm yearning for those days And so we wish upon the stars Life do us part Till death unites us If love has sailed beyond the bay We can be rescued come what may A twist of fate can turn the tide Believe we’ll be together on the other side We’ll be much better in another life Beware the truth it never dies
