歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Twelve dollars at the yard sale Heavy brass and a broken rail Carried home through the evening haze In a velvet case from better days I felt the weight of a different life Cutting through the quiet like a knife [Pre-Chorus] But tucked inside a hidden fold A yellowed scrap, a story told Pencil lead and cursive lines Tracing out the grand designs [Chorus] Oh, stranger in the dark You left a little spark Mapping out the moons of Jupiter Did the world look better then to her? Or him, or them, or anyone? Chasing light until the day was done [Post-Chorus] Paper constellations Forgotten observations Paper constellations Forgotten observations [Verse] "Look for Mars by the willow tree" "August tenth, finally free" The ink is smudged by a thumbprint Giving me a tiny hint Of a rooftop or a lonely hill Where the spinning world stood still [Pre-Chorus] I wonder if you found the spark Between the shadows and the dark Was the telescope a heavy load? On that long and winding road [Chorus] Oh, stranger in the dark You left a little spark Mapping out the moons of Jupiter Did the world look better then to her? Or him, or them, or anyone? Chasing light until the day was done [Bridge] Are you sleeping under city lights? Do you miss those velvet nights? The toy piano plays your tune Looping underneath the moon I’m looking through your dusty glass Watching all the shadows pass [Break] [Verse] I saw the rings of Saturn glow Just like you did long ago The warbly guitar hums your name Nothing ever stays the same But for a second in the lens The lonely searching finally ends [Chorus] Oh, stranger in the dark You left a little spark Mapping out the moons of Jupiter Did the world look better then to her? Or him, or them, or anyone? Chasing light until the day was done [Post-Chorus] Paper constellations Forgotten observations Paper constellations Forgotten observations [Outro]
