Strange Stars

You hiked the front lines all summer long Skipping the heat in a mountainside town Once in our stucco cell I had a vision of All your past lives in your ancient mother's eyes Sitting on my rooftop just before dawn Wishing to dissolve both distance and time Cuz I know we're always close When we both rise to the same sun every day If I held you by the light of the dawning glow Under strange stars in patterns we do not know Past the rock walls and those waterfalls Then when the day is breaking Are you gonna be near to me? I've been lonely too, on an empty white bed I would have given anything just to have a friend We moved together for a little while, florid and futile Don't you feel bound by what you carry on? Prisons in him and them and things that are so far gone Sweeping waves smile, then oscillate past Did you really think your heaven could last? If I told you by the light of the lava flow Of our fates told by stars you long to know From your little town you are forced back again And in the daylight all I'm craving is my friend
