The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were hereI'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietlyThe silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectlyI'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the boneBut drenched in Vanilla Twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so aloneI don't feel so alone
I don't feel so aloneAs many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonightWhen violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive againAnd I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
