  • We look above on a silent sea,
    We are the ones that the light shines down upon,
    But every star is just a wish in the rain.
    The wait is long, then the night has changed.
    I can see the promise you've been dreaming of
    But every promise is just a word on the wind.

    Now you know we're together,
    Falling like stars, again and again.
    Because we can't live forever,
    Falling like stars, fading away.

    Another day now, has glided by,
    And though it's over you don't have time to care.
    Because every sign is just a wish in the rain.
    Across the morning mist, the light is pale,
    Every stranger in the strange parade of love.
    Where every promise is just a word on the wind.

    Now you know we're together,
    Falling like stars, again and again.
    Because we can't live forever,
    Falling like stars, fading away.

    Right 'till the end,
    Driffting on the wind.
    Right 'till the end. Writer/s: FARIS BADWAN, JOSEPH SPURGEON, JOSHUA HAYWARD, PAUL EPWORTH, RHYS WEBB, TOMMY COWAN
