Starlit Thoughts

Tonight I sit alone
And gaze into the dark sky
Thinking of all the wasted years
Tonight I sit alone, and think
This so called life is not leading me anywhere
Tonight our paths separate
I'd like to say goodbye
But it is too late to cry
You go that way, me this way
In your darkness I cannot stay
Tonight our paths separate
I'd like to say goodbye
But it is too late to cry
My friend, you go that way, me this way
For I want to live for the light
I pray, there is just emptiness
At the end of your way
Just like you said
You did not believe in eternal pain
Neither did I but tonight I can only pray
Now, my friend, we have come to a point
I've made my decision, and I hope you will too
Prodigal son, beloved son
Hear your father cry
Look into the face of the old man
Look at his eyes...
He's still sitting beside the window
Waiting for your return
Run, run, for soon it is eve
And the gates are closing
Run, run, run, run
The gates are closing
Run, run, run, run
The sun is setting
Run, run, run, run
The gates are closing
Run, run, run, run
Your light is waning
Run, run, oh prodigal son
Will you not come home?
