Northern Sky

What's behind the curtain?

I never saw who closed the door

But now I am quite certain

I used to know what was here before

I used to know what was here before

There have been times I can recall

When a hand pulled back the corner

Out of my peripheral

I glimpsed the unadorned

I glimpsed the unadorned

Like the faintest star

When I turned to look you were gone

(You were gone)

Like the faintest star in the Northern sky

We used to dance in the streets of Rome

We'd walk the forest floor

And love's a telephone

I can't hear you anymore

I can't hear you anymore

Like the faintest star

When I turned to look you were gone

(You were gone)

Like the faintest star in the Northern sky

Like the faintest star

When I turned to you, you were gone

(You were gone)

Like the faintest star in the Northern sky
