Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

I counted every light above the sea

Marked its place upon the wall

But in the morning where a star had been

There was no trace of it at all

Pre-Chorus

The oldest charts were turning pale

The northern sky had lost its name

I climbed the tower with a broken lens

And watched the darkness rearrange

Chorus

One by one the lights go out

Leaving holes in what we know

If the sky forgets its stars

Where do all the lost lights go

Post-Chorus

Where do they go

Where do they go

Verse 2

I found a room beneath the stairs

Where fallen constellations lay

Like little stones in wooden drawers

Still warm from some forgotten day

Pre-Chorus

No thunder came no warning bell

No voice explained the changing night

I held a fragment to the glass

And saw a thousand windows shine

Chorus

One by one the lights go out

Leaving holes in what we know

If the sky forgets its stars

Where do all the lost lights go

Post-Chorus

Where do they go

Where do they go

Bridge

Slowly slowly the heavens fold

Quietly quietly the rooms grow cold

Tender tender the fragments glow

(Softly softly)

(Softly softly)

Breakdown

One by one

One by one

One by one

(One by one)

Final Chorus

One by one the lights go out

But something moves beneath the snow

If the sky forgets its stars

Perhaps the earth will learn to glow

Outro

I closed the book

And left the tower

Before the dawn

Mm-hmm

Mm
