Planets Of The Universe

Album: Trouble In Shangri-La (2001)

  • The bright light is lying down
    The earth and the sea and the sky
    Is at rest with the ocean
    And the days go by

    They go into the seas that have no shores
    Haunted by that same closed door
    Looking up at skies on fire
    Leaving nothing left of us
    To discover

    [Chorus]
    And the planets of the universe
    Go their way
    Not astounded by the sun or the moon
    Or by the day
    You and I will simply disappear
    Out of sight
    But I'm afraid soon there'll be
    No light

    No doubt, no pain
    Come ever again, well
    Let there be light in this lifetime
    In the cool, silent moments of the nighttime

    [Chorus]

    We will never change again
    The way that we are changing
    Well, you'll forget the chill of love
    But not the strain

    Now I know
    Well, I was wrong
    To live for a dream
    If I had my life to live over
    I would never dream, no
    I still wish you gone
    And I will live alone
    Yes, I will live alone

    [Chorus]

    You will never love again
    The way you love me
    You will never rule again
    The way you ruled me
    You will never change again
    The way you're changing Writer/s: Stephanie Nicks

  • Chris from Leeds, EnglandAlso, this song appears in the Charmed series 3, episode "The Demon Who Came in From The Cold".
  • Chris from Leeds, EnglandThis song was originally recorded for Rumours and can be found on the Delux 2CD version of the album under cuts. It's surprising how the two version differ. I have to say I prefer the new version.
