Starlight Echoes

Intro

(Intimate acoustic guitar fingerstyle starts)

Verse 1

The ceiling is high but my thoughts are low

I’m watching the satellites put on a show

There’s a silver line on the edge of the roof

And I’m looking for some kind of cosmic proof

That you’re seeing the same little spark in the sky

While I’m sitting here wondering why I’m so shy

Every flickering light in the velvet blue

Is a quiet reflection of something in you

Verse 2

I’m tracing the patterns above the old pine

Trying to draw a straight, invisible line

From the North Star’s glow to your bedroom door

I’ve never felt quite this lonely before

But the silence is heavy and the night is so deep

While the rest of the neighborhood’s fallen asleep

I’m whispering secrets to the Milky Way

About all the things I was too scared to say

Verse 3

I remember the way that you tilted your head

To catch the last ray before the sun went to bed

And now as the Big Dipper pours out its light

I’m catching the ghost of your laughter tonight

The dust on my window is shimmering gold

Like a map of a story that’s yet to be told

I’m miles away from where you are now

But I’m reaching for you through the dark, somehow

Verse 4

The wind is a hum in the wires outside

Like a feeling I’m constantly trying to hide

It carries a tune that I wrote in my sleep

A promise I’m making, a secret I’ll keep

If the universe is as big as they say

Then maybe our paths are just one star away

So I’ll count every glimmer and name every one

Until the long watch of the night-time is done

Bridge

Higher than the clouds, softer than a sigh

I’m writing your name on the edge of the sky

Higher than the clouds, softer than a sigh

I’m writing your name on the edge of the sky

Verse 5

The coffee is cold and the shadows have grown

But I’ve never felt quite so rarely alone

For the sky is a mirror and you are the flame

And every vibration is speaking your name

So I’ll stay awake 'til the black turns to grey

And the morning sun washes the magic away

But for now, I’m okay with this lonely view

Just a boy in his room, and a sky full of you

Outro

Just a boy in his room...

And a sky full of you...
