All the wind on your fingertips
Heavy amethyst on your heart
Space will glow in Europa's pull
But for now the ship races on
Minuets, silhouettes, satellites cold and dark
Long ago, there was only snow
And a path that led Never North
In your starboard bed, neither sleeping nor awake
Your transmissions end, but I'll write you anyway
What a beautiful world, like a beautiful song in your head
Fall in love with a girl, fall in love with her shadow instead
Is this beautiful world just a beautiful song in your head?
Fall in love with a girl, fall in love with her shadow instead
Gone as wind on your fingertips
I'll be leaving with just a torch
Spaceship clothes for the night's unknowns
As her pendant glows, we recall
Minuets, silhouettes, things you left in the dark
Time is slow, where you long to go
By your pendant's pull, Never North
In your star bird bed, as machines bring you awake
My transmissions end, but you write me just to say
What a beautiful world, like a beautiful song in your head
Fall in love with a girl, fall in love with her shadow instead
Is this beautiful world just a beautiful song in your head?
Fall in love with a girl, fall in love with her shadow instead
