stars are a blanket

The sun has gone to sleep tonight, And I’m sitting just behind the pale moon's light. You know I always loved when the daylight would end, And the infinite canvas of night would descend. I haven't abandoned the life that we made, I just took my place in the beautiful shade. The pain has surrendered, the physical ties, And I traded them in for a seat in the skies. ​Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the evening go black, I crossed over the border, but I'm looking back. Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light, I've found my own kingdom deep in the night. Where the stars are a blanket and the peace runs so deep, In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. ​Verse 2 Please listen to me, and please understand, I'm still reaching out with an invisible hand. Just look up at the midnight and suddenly see, The vastness of space where I'm finally free. No sickness, no sorrow, no limits or walls, Just the beautiful quiet whenever night falls. I’m painting the twilight, I’m shifting the air, Whenever you need me, I promise I'm there. ​Bridge (The rhythm becomes rhythmic and atmospheric, echoing the mystery of the deep night sky) Remember the nights when we looked at the sky, Tracking the high strange anomalies fly? The silent, bright flashes that defied every rule, Those beautiful mysteries when the evening ran cool. Well, look up tonight when the atmosphere clears, I'm the flash of the light that removes all your fears. I am the anomaly watching the trees, Guarding you safely with absolute ease. ​Verse 3 The architects tell you that souls fade away, But I’m writing my love in the Milky Way. I'm the glow on the horizon, the spark in the cold, A beautiful star that will never grow old. So don't look for me in the dust or the ground, I am the silence where comfort is found. I loved you in life, and I love you in space, And I'm saving you such a magnificent place. ​Chorus So close your eyes tight, let the evening go black, I crossed over the border, but I'm looking back. Let the saints have their gold and their blinding white light, I've found my own kingdom deep in the night. Where the stars are a blanket and the peace runs so deep, In the dark side of heaven, forever to keep. ​Outro Look up at the sky. I'm the flash in the dark. I haven't gone far. I am safe in the night. Forever to keep.
