Trembling Blue Stars Follow

A song on the radio
Makes you shiver
And want to curl into a ball
Makes you want to be
Seventeen
And forget the future’s shrinking
Life was so open then
Now it’s closing in
Life was wide open then
Now it’s closing in
One by one
We’ve watched our dreams
Disappearing
Two girls against the world
Summer nights warm and long
Sleeping all day
So many songs
The shadow cast by long ago
Puts a lump within your throat
A girl whose favourite thing is snow
Snow and being alone
The ocean between us can’t
Take away the past
The ocean between us won’t
Take away the past
There’s a place all we shared
Shines unimpaired
Time flies
Swift as an arrow
The dagger of never trodden paths
Photographs they break my heart
Ambushed by the thought-”I don’t recognize her”
I miss you! I miss her!
Life was so open then
Now it’s closing in
Life was wide open then
Now it’s closing in
One by one
We’ve watched our dreams
Disappearing
But the ocean between us can’t
Take away the past
The ocean between us won’t
Take away the past
There’s a place all we shared
Shines unimpaired
