Your laughter filled the silence
Like stars fill up the night.
So I kissed you
Underneath a heaven
That looked and sounded so bright.

When you looked at the stars
Did you know could you tell
That the ending of our love
Would not go very well.
Did you know could you tell?

Horoscopes each morning
Across the breakfast table,
To navigate our days,
The best that we were able.
You use the stars my darling
Like philosophy or religion.
You use them because you think
They give you better vision.

When you looked at the stars
Did you know, could you guess
That the cadence of our love
Would sound like this at its best?
Did you know could you guess?

Now I turn my head to science
Because romance let me down.
I like the safety of rules and regulations,
Explanations to be found.
Light travels fast,
Light travels far,
By the time it reaches us,
There may not even be a star…

Yes, I know, I know you love me,
Well at least you say you do.
But love means something different,
To me than it does to you.
We don’t see each other anymore,
All I see is this,
A kind of starsong baby,
Because we don’t even exist.

When you looked at the stars
Did you know, were you right?
Did you find what you were looking for?
Did they shed a little light?
Listen baby the stars
Are all silent tonight
