Halley's Comet 
was alone 
for a while 
in the sky 
when she came down 
she lit 
up the sky 
and the night 
is long 
silhouettes of icy rocks 
before the dawn 
pushed away 
from who you love 
invisible but oh so strong 
all night long 
once in a lifetime 
she fell in love with a star 
when she couldn't stop 
he tied a line to her heart 
I will hold 
on tight 
to this line throughout the night 
when I see 
you again I'll be older 
until then 
I am 
alone in the night

I wore black 
and she wore blue 
standing outside looking in through you 
I was afraid 
to see your face 
after the dark took your place 
I just want you back 
the death of a love 
so young and so pure 
waiting in the light 
for you to reappear 
calling out your name 
I wish that you could hear me 
the years have flown away 
but I see you everyday 
in the children that we made on this earth 
and I’ll make sure that they know 
that although you are gone 
you watch over them and keep us safe 
the death of a love 
so young and so pure 
waiting in the light 
for you to reappear 
calling out your name 
I know that you can hear me

your heart is an open book and 
I have read every page 
I have read every page 
and I know that you are looking 
for a shot at the crazy life 
light the candles that get us high 
everyone is alone tonight 
thanks to railways in stride 
when the night comes I am tired 
rest my eyes under Jupiter and Mars 
ignore the roar from the passing cars 
love the life that you once had 
fight the feet that keep you down 
twenty years in the underground 
ignore the walls that keep you straight 
'cause they were never really there 
this life 
isn't big enough for the two of us 
cut the line 
and my friend leave me alone 
leave me alone 
I want to know what you've been up to 
call home once or twice a year 
missing you is my greatest fear 
all you need is something new 
to get a way to define 
this life 
isn't big enough for the two of us 
cut the line 
and my friend leave me alone 
leave me alone

I awoke at eight to my mothers face 
so scared and concerned 
and she said 
“get up it’s time for church 
service starts in half an hour, your gonna be late” 
but I never wanted to go 
she just made me so 
from fear I guess 
this concern with the after life 
I never seemed to care 
god 
forgive me 
'cause I don’t believe these humans 
god 
could you blame me 
if you made me 
because I was much too young 
to make my own mind 
I trusted you to do it for me 
and raise me right 
fill me up with the things 
that you know 
and I will listen 
but to 
live to die 
I can’t relate 
when life 
is so beautiful 
god 
forgive me 
'cause I don’t believe these humans 
god 
could you blame me 
if you made me the way I am 
the proof is there 
and I’m aware 
that we know nothing 
I will admit 
to myself 
that I know 
nothing

one day 
we'll get away 
from this house 
from this town 
we'll get away 
from your fathers rule 
I'll make you my wife 
we'll start a new life 
somewhere near the ocean 
we'll hide away 
and change our names 
mr. and mrs. 
my dear would you be mine 
I'll be waiting outside 
around back with the engine running 
follow me outside and I'll show you what 
we've been missing 
so stay with me 
and hold my hand 
I'll be around 
when the sun goes down 
day after day 
night after night 
I'll be with you 
and I'll see this through and eventually 
your father will come to us 
so you have to trust me when I say 
everything is gonna be alright 
I'll be waiting outside 
around back with the engine running 
I'll be waiting on things that somehow never seem to happen 
and when we go grey and our youth is taken from us 
I'll love you more than life as the mother of my children 
and when the oceans flood 
and the mountains crumble to the ground 
my eyes will shut alongside yours 
my eyes will shut alongside yours 
I will grow old with you 
I will grow old with you
