lyrics

We drew a line between the stars.
A bond, we painted it over the folds.
We drew a line between the stars,
right between the lies we never told.

Sooner than later our line grew too frayed.
I knew you were mine, still from the line I strayed.
And our paint faded, it faded in the setting light,
to drift silently away in the darkness of night.

Remember me in the falling years.
Remember the laughter and the swallowed tears.
Remember how we found our dreams and conquered our fears.
Remember me.

Fill the cup in the upstairs room.
Watch the candle burn in deep, dark eyes.
Whisper a prayer in the mounting gloom,
as a breath of air quenches the raging fire.

And love is filled with temptation like never before.
But nobody noticed the breath of calm before the rising storm.
And he don’t remember ‘til after once and twice and thrice and oh,
the sun is rising with a light that despair does not know.

Remember me in the falling years.
Remember the laughter and the swallowed tears.
Remember how we found our dreams and conquered our fears.
Remember me.

And I'll tell it, and think it, and speak it, and breathe it;
and reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it;
and I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinking,
but I'll know my song well before I start singing.
