Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walkin' down a lonely road, a ghost city sidewalk scene
And I wonder if there's a place
Where they bury all their unborn dreams
Whoa!
Some castle in the sky, a place that only I can back down to and look
Out for that shining guide ablaze out somewhere
[Verse 2]
Waitin' for a sign in vain
That's gonna shine away the pain
Gonna draw the moonlight down
All is gonna tumble down
Are you gonna guide me, starlight?
Guide me, starlight
Won't you send me a sign?
[Verse 3]
You're a drift until you strand, desert island of mundanity
You circle 'round your solitude within the walls they call austerity
Whoa
I know maybe it's insane to dream of what you'll never gain
Nothin' on the line, driven by unsettled certainty
[Verse 4]
Waitin' for a sign in vain
That's gonna shine away the pain
Gonna shine a figment down
Yeah, I'm gonna stick around
Well, you gonna guide me, starlight?
Guide me, starlight
Are you out there? Anywhere at all?
[Verse 5]
Anywhere at all?
If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground
Just like you but from the new me
One night, the clouds forever near me
And I won't even be a foolish memory
[Verse 6]
Waitin' for a sign in vain
Orphan star
Shine on me
[Verse 7]
Waitin' for a sign in vain
Gonna shine away the pain
Gonna draw the moonlight down
All is gonna tumble down
Are you gonna hear me, starlight?
Hear me, starlight
Are you out there, anywhere at all?
[Verse 8]
Waitin' for a sign in vain
Gonna shine away the pain
Gonna draw the moonlight down
All is gonna tumble down
Are you gonna hear me, starlight?
Hear me, starlight
Are you out there?
