I Remember Stars

I Remember Stars - Raised By Swans

How did I drift so far

From the thundering tide

A wreckage of the wishes I once whispered

To the night

I remember stars

Where there isn't any sky

I remember victories when I didn't

Have to try

I remember losing too

Line for line

I climbed the only ladder

Where the city streets snake

I looked down at the scores of crumpled notes

In the storm drains

I remember tenderness

If I look back too far

I remember memory before locked rooms

And alarms

I promised you the world

I promised you the world back then

Destroyer of worlds

Now I want my promise back

I'll keep it to myself this time

Outlaw in a coastal cave

A spell walked into red sand

Beyond the reach of the waves

I promised you the world

I promised you the world back then

Destroyer of worlds

You're part of me

Don't forget

And I remember enough

Of the things that you've pushed away

When it's late and I feel your chill

I whisper for them to

Stay

Please

Stay

Stay

Please stay

No one can break my heart

I remember stars
