If An Alien Astronomer Could See Us From Afar

In different times when things were simpler
I'd sit for ages and watch the river flow by
And by and by everything shifted
Time has a way of moving faster than life

In crowded places I stick to corners
And watch the faces of my fellow mourners
Like changing skies, clouded and raining
Then suddenly bathed in unbelievable light

And I lost my way
But I found my eyes
Fixed on a disappearing point on the horizon
A breaking heart
A dying star
The things we do to one another
If an alien astronomer could see us from afar

By dancing firelight under cozy bedclothes
We stoke the embers, no, don't let your love grow cold
We all live our lives in reverse
Just look behind you, there's a whole universe

And I lost my way
But I found my eyes
Fixed on a disappearing point on the horizon
A breaking heart
A dying star
The things we do to one another
If an alien astronomer could see us from afar
