Dark Skies

Dark skies they open up your eyes Dark skies they open up your eyes Wide eyes are full of wonder Pools of light when light was younger That we can only see in the night Dark skies they open up your eyes Dark skies they open up your eyes There's just two laws that share the power There's falling in and there's blazing outward That make every shape in the sky Dark skies they open up your eyes Dark skies they open up your eyes To chart the sky with fine precision Is to talk with god about old time religion Hmmm, hmmm -- unblinded by all the light Keep climbing to the highest peaks Deep diving to the deepest deeps Knowing that there's more to know Learning that there's more to learn Seeing that there's . . . Seeing that there's . . . Seeing that there's ever more to see Dark skies they open up your eyes Dark skies they open up your eyes Count the stars and weigh the dust To guess the curve of heaven's crust Our fate is held in the weight of the sky That's right, it's all in the dark of the night"
