Lyrics

In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the life we knew, before the world changed
When not a thing I held was true
But you were kind to me
And you reminded me
That the world is not my playground
There are other things that matter
What is simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me
I know you carry me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost, we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Who would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend
Of my funny friend and me?
I'm not as clever as I thought I was
I'm not the boy I used to be, because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I always seemed so certain, but I was really never sure
But you stayed and you called my name
When others would have walked out on a lousy game
And look who made it through
But your funny friend and me
(You see the patterns in the big sky)
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet and the bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
(Just like the patterns in the big sky)
We'll be together
(We'll be together till the end this time)
Don't know, you don't know
(Don't know the answer or the reason why)
We'll stick together
(We'll stick together till the day we die)
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
Who would the angels send
But that unlikely blend
Of those two funny friends?
That's us
