Glass window panes
And winding weather vanes
All signify a change
In the world around me
Well if we walk away
Tell me what then
We start as lovers
We end as friends
Back to start
Then round again
A love that has no pull
On matter that surrounds me
I'll try to keep from drifting
But I am free
From your gravity
No offense to defend
Good fences make good neighbors
The light is fading blue
Cool and new and beautiful
You come and go as you please
You build your world around me
The lens you view me through
Is cracked and broken
The rise and fall of our empire
Left us only ash from fire
We the rising embers
Ephemeral constellations
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
Looking from the past
If we'd been honest
About what we'd shown
The future could be already known
Cracks begin around your smile
Only sweet a little while
The rise and fall of our empire
Left us only ash from fire
We the rising embers
Ephemeral constellations
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
At night I count the stars
