story behind the song: a little soul for Celine, a little folk n country to remember Mr. Frey and a bit of why at all for the rest of us
Lyrics
saw the stars go dim
one by one last night
thought i heard them crying
thinking how that can't be right
hosts of yesterdays
fates of come to pass
heroes in those scenes
often fail unmasked
saw the stars go out
one by one last night
whispers of in their caring
thinking now that can't be right
ghosts of yesterday
wraiths of come to pass
angels in my dreams
demons who ask
why everyone has to leave
why everyone is so sad
why everyone when it comes time
decides to not come back
the everything of being
as today becomes tonight
the everything of seeming
the anything of life
freshly fallen
moonlight on the snow
freshly fallen
in the twilight of tomorrow
freshly fallen
our shadows on that snow
freshly fallen
the twilight of we know
saw the stars backlit
peaceful in their faith
thought i heard them sighing
this must be the place
the most of yesterday
dreams that come to pass
the wonders of to be
the reasons that we ask
why everyone has to leave
why everyone is so sad
why everyone when it comes time
decides to not come back
the everything of being
as today becomes tonight
the everything of seeming
the anything of life
freshly fallen
our shadows on the snow
freshly fallen
drifts of we can't know
freshly fallen
moonlight of oh no
freshly fallen
twilight and tomorrow
and tomorrow
twilight
and tomorrow
