[Verse 1]
When southern breeze
Rustles the bay
And ‘cross the water
Gulls fly away
At night the stars
Twinkle and shine
Callin’ me back to
When you were mine

[Verse 2]
The starry night
Pulls out my heart
With velvet fist
Tears it apart
Not every time
But now and then
Bringing me back the
Life that has been

[Chorus]
These ancient stars
That once felt so warm
Hang stiff and frozen
After you’ve gone
These same still lights
Distant and cold
I could have touched ‘em
In days of old

[Verse 3]
The breeze confides
How the time dies
The faded starlight
Stinging the eyes
Somewhere down there
Way in the past
Lie torn and scattered
Things that can't last
[Spoken]
Far down the line
A dream lies dead
Snuffed out and withered
As these stars
Above my head

[Chorus]
These ancient stars
That once felt so warm
Hang stiff and frozen
After you’ve gone
These same still lights
Distant and cold
I could have touched ‘em
In days of old

I could have touched ‘em
In days of old
