The night has a thousand eyes, the day but one.
Yet the light of the bright world dies with the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes, the heart but one.
Yet the light of the whole world dies when love is done.
I used to wait for your change of heart,
But no longer do today.
The other used to believe
It would soon come one day
The day of waiting came to an end,
When we met again.
When who I thought was you, my friend,
Turned out to be a stranger instead.
I sit alone in my room, glaring out the window
The night surrounds me with its velvet shroud
I think of you once more and a smile lights my eyes
In my mind I can see your face, hear your laughter
And then you are gone.
How many times must I replay this scene inside my head
For me to understand who you are and why you haunt my vision
I know not what your name is or where you come from
Only that when I'm alone and look in the star-sudden
Heavens you are there.
