lyrics

Greek heroes fill our eyes
Spreading a map across the night
You’re explaining every one
The stories that shine when the day is done
And we must seem so small
A tiny speck sprinkled among billions of stars

If we were a constellation,
Tell me, what’s our story?
How would the wise men draw us in the sky?
Would you see me up there with my guitar,
Writing you this very song?
And my hand would trace the sweetness of your smile
And paint your face for the rest of time
In the sky

You remind me of Van Gogh
You see so much more
Invisible to my human eyes
So many colors in this starry night
But in you I see so much
The more I learn about you the more there is to love

If we were a constellation,
Tell me, what’s our story?
How would the wise men draw us in the sky?
Would you see me up there with my guitar,
Writing you this very song?
And my hand would trace the sweetness of your smile
And paint your face for the rest of time
In the sky

And one day
Will we turn from history to myth?
Will we fade like an old photograph?
To be judged by tapes and letters,
This song, or something better?
I don’t know

All I know is when I look above
Your face is what I’ll see
All I know is when I look above
I’ll see the better part of me

If we were a constellation,
Tell me, what’s our story?
How would the wise men draw us in the sky?
Would you see me up there with my guitar,
Writing you this very song?
And my hand would trace the sweetness of your smile
And paint your face for the rest of time

Hercules’ strength couldn’t tear me from your side
We’ll wave at Peter in the second star to the right
The north star will wink at us with it’s light
We’ll spend our days and the rest of our nights
In the sky
