The Midnight Streets

The midnight streets
Are empty without you
The silent sky
Starstruck, a deep blue
Do you see it?
The horizon, it runs forever
Like a backdrop for the moon
And its lunar endeavors
A cool breeze sweeps through the silver dust
That lies gently on the pavement
Like an earthy rust
I eye it close
As the wind carries it far
As I watch the sands blow
To wherever you are
I look above
With a glimpse of the night
And the magical way
It wraps the earth so tight
Keeping us warm in eternal embrace
If I glance at the stars
I can almost catch your face
The clouds swirl gently
Into a spectacular view
Wherever you are
I hope you're watching it too
Because though we're apart
You remain in my heart
For we still share the same moon
As I'm reminded of you
It's always said
That the night covers the earth
So maybe you're looking up too
For whatever it's worth
So let's watch the stars swim
Through this ocean of air
If we see the same one,
It feels like you're really there
The buildings glow
With harmonious white
Traffic lights color the dark
In spectral delight
I see you, you see me
By my side you may as well be,
When you glance above
Far beyond the tallest trees
It's like a call to my mind
Like a phone hardwired,
Always connected inside
To what my soul most admires
So just ring me up
Because I'm always around
Just lift your head aloft and wave
To the stars that we found
It's always said
That the night covers the earth
So maybe you're looking up too
For whatever it's worth
So let's watch the stars swim
Through this ocean of air
If we see the same one,
It feels like you're really there
It's always said
That the night covers the earth
So maybe you're looking up too
For whatever it's worth
So let's watch the stars swim
Through this ocean of air
If we see the same one,
It feels like you're really there
