lyrics

E B A A x 2- (play an open E on the 7th fret for the B and on the 5th for the A - sometimes I add my little finger on the 7th fret E-string for that little sticky sound)

E B A A
I see a star on the northern sky
I see it fine
No city lights to block the sight
I'm too far out

A B E E
Fire exploding through space time
how long did it take
for the light to travel from your place to mine to reflect in this lake?

E B A A
If noone was here to see the beauty
how could it be worth it?
Millions and millions of degrees
and a thousand light years just to be

A B E E
seen for a second by my eyes only
I think it would be lonely
for the universe if I wasn't around
to cheer me up when I feel down
