lyrics

What can I do now I'm left on the moon
Sent shooting stars but they shot tight past you
The sun went down and I sang you a song
Turns out you were asleep all along

Heard it last night and all the nights before
All the shooting stars, I couldn't ask for more
The sun came up and I thought it was a dream
Turns out the night stole my memories

So why don't you come down
Well build me a ladder made out of clouds
Out from the starry sea
My dear you'll have saved me, now we are free

Gazed at the moon but you stared right past me
Carved from the moon, a ship to sail the sea
Anchors away, I flew across the stars
I'll leave my lights on and wait with open arms

So why don't you come down
Well build me a ladder made out of clouds
Out from the starry sea
My dear you'll have saved me, now we are free

Are you listening
To how the sky sings
Oh my darling
I am searching
Oh my darling
Don't stop dreaming
