Retrograde

The darkness comes, it feels so near

The stars come out tonight

They tell you things you like to hear

So quiet and so kind

Now don’t be sad, you’re not alone

Your friends are standing by

They‘re waiting for you back at home

And all will be alright

They wait so long, they wait so long for you

The branches reaching out to you

Will try to touch your face

Your step is lighted by the moon

The shadows change their shape

The animals all hide from view

The secret lies in wait

Does your elusive dream come true

Or does it slip away?

To be someone, to be someone like you

You trace along delicate lines

Design disintegrates

It’s not too late to change your mind

And play in retrograde

To be someone, to be someone like you
