Sleeping Stars

The sun shows the lines on your face
& delicate traces of doubt
The delicate traces of trouble
Love doesn't come without

Let's do like the sleeping stars
& not waste our lights
Up in the blue skies
But wait for the night
Wait for the night to shine

You keep asking me questions
& I don't know what to say
Give me some time to get over
The life I gave away
Give me some time to accept that
Yesterday's ghosts are dead
I promise I'll gladly forget them
When I can have you instead
