about

"Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to
pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?"

lyrics

Strain to see, by God my only question
The blurs of light upon celestial plane
Speak no words, I see your voice around me
As wonder burns my heart with hopeful flame

If she danced above to hidden thunder
If these moments lost were felt in rain
If I filled my bones with light from heaven
Would I ever see those eyes again?

Stared above for years, or maybe longer
Wished to see a future past the blue
Gazed at hopes a million miles or further
Lost my love beyond the lonely moon

Time it seems does not require an answer
Search and dream, however, if you will
Lest you turn your eyes to earthly matters
The stars will never fulfill
