I can see you standing in every doorway Every night, a fleeting glimpse of candlelight Chases 'cross the atmosphere, but you're not here And I see the shape of moonlight on the cityscape But now the skyline wears a shroud I hear your voice in every crowd

Descend the shades of night Death shines her golden light Across a blackened sky All our hate is a product of a world Sitting in the empty black The last slivers of dusk have passed Accept the dawn to ease the fear

I don't argue like this with anyone but you We do it all the time blowing out my mind Just like a star across my sky Just like an angel off the page You have appeared to my life Feel like I'll never be the same Just like a song in my heart Just like oil

I glow, I glow, I glow, I glow It starts at midnight, midnight, midnight Y'all can't do better than this Act like the south ain't the shit The air's so thin, but we don't give a damn The starry sky across the night Where we pretend it's our last chance

Rain came down in sheets that night Stared out to the left and to the right Rain came down in cords Seemed to laugh at us 'til daylight Clouds raised out across the autumn sky

Meet me halfway Across the sky In a lifetime Out where the world belongs To only you and I Make this a new beginning of another life. Made of memories

Shine on, you crazy diamond Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun. Now there's a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky You were caught in the crossfire Of childhood and stardom, Blown on the steel breeze Come on you target

'Cause just like him, you always leave me crying A million little wishes float across the sky Picked you out and picked you up Hopin' that my luck would change Let the summer fill my lungs Superstition fill my brain But it's a waste of breath and it's

Sweep your silver pen, Across the sky So high Won't you write the biggest Cross the sky She don't read the letters I write anymore

I'll write your name Across the sky And take away the stars 'Cause you light up the night You as high as the moon When you're here with me That's why I'm gonna write your name For the world to see Another old name on the porch with the bottle
