To fight the battle between darkness and light There he is sitting all alone... He found the starry sky one night, a secret he will keep There is a house next to the station It's not abandoned any more You see the lights up at the station Somebody's living there for sure No one's ever stayed inside up there till dawn arrives There was some damage to the spacecraft So now they're stuck in outer space Something went wrong down at the lift-off Two billion miles or more away 'We'll send another capsule so they may be back in June...' He lit a candle from the fireplace Sat on the floor and watched it breathe See the Lightkeeper finally found his place And he won't rise, won't fall asleep Our lives are lying there before us, awaiting So many ways to make it right And still they're all the same to me These stars all look the same And still they're all the same to me These days are all the same
