Light Years

Light Years - Various Artists

I used hammers

Made out of wood

I have played games

With pieces and rules

I deciphered tricks

At the bar

But now you're gone

I haven't figured out why

I come up with riddles

And jokes about war

I figured out numbers

And what they're for

I understood feelings

And I understood words

But how could you

Be taken away

And wherever you're gone

And wherever we might go

It don't seem fair

Today just disappeared

Your light reflected now

Reflected from afar

We were but stones

Your light made us stars

Weep heavy breath

Awakened regrets

Backpages and days alone

That could have been spent

Together

But we were miles apart

Every inch between us

Becomes light years now

No time to be void

Or to save up on life

You got to spend it all

And wherever you're gone

And wherever we might go

It don't seem fair

You seemed to like it here

Your light reflected now

Reflected from afar

We were but stones

Your light made us stars
