These sleepy recollections
Of lovers under the moon
The lazy crescent-curves of my guitar
The scattered decorations
All over your room
Those phosphorescent, tacky paper stars
Tell me, how’s that one I picked for me and you,
Lying there in those final hours?
Did my starry-eyed good wish ever come true?
Paper, glue, and magic powers…
And oh, I know where you are
And I know this by heart
I’m never very far
From those paper bedroom stars
But there comes a time
In a daydreamer’s life
When he must decide at last
To be haunted by
Nights of fond memories
Or be hunted by the past
Tell me, was it real and was it really ours:
Held up there by our human devices?
And underneath that cardboard canopy of stars
We learned of love, and what the price is…
And oh, I know where you are
And I know this by heart
You’re never very far
From those paper bedroom stars
Gaze through the looking glass
At the black summer sky
That supernova flash from afar
And see the light-years pass
In the blink of an eye
Over paper bedroom stars
I know where you are
I know where you are
I know where you are
