Our Prince of the Stars

It seemed somehow better, letting all go by,
When winter rained down on summer’s love,
In the blinking of an eye.
You just took to the air, when the day was done,
And winged your way through the black of night,
And sailed to the stars above.
No time to smile, or to do the things you might,
Now there’s no chance to start anew,
And no claims on your birth rights.
But safe now, now that you’ve made your way to blue,
So forget this cruel world where we belong,
But please don’t forget us too.
Taken so, so far away, from those who did you wrong,
The silence sits so heavy, the silence holds so strong.
