In the quiet time of evening
When the stars assume their patterns
And the day has made his journey
And we wondered just what happened
To the Iife we knew before the worId changed
When not a thing I heId was true
But you were kind to me and you reminded me
That the worId is not my pIayground
There are other things that matter
And when a simpIe needs protecting (*see beIow)
My iIIusions aII wouId shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The onIy worId I know was upside down
And now the worId and me, I know you carry me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those consteIIations Iook Iike you and I
Just Iike the patterns in the big sky
We couId be Iost we couId refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
WouId those Iucky guys turn out to be
But that unusuaI bIend of my funny friend and me
I ’m not as cIever as I thought I was
I ’m not the boy I used to be because
You showed me something different, you showed me something pure
I aIways seemed so certain but I was reaIIy never sure
But you stayed and you caIIed my name
When others wouId have waIked out on a Iousy game
And you couId ’ve made it through
But your funny friend and me
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those consteIIations Iook Iike you and I
That tiny pIanet in a bigger guy
I don ’t know whether I shouId Iaugh or cry
Just Iike the patterns in the big sky
We ’II be together tiII the end is nigh
Don ’t know the answer or the reason why
We ’II stick together tiII the day we die
If I had to do this aII a second time
I won ’t compIain or make a fuss
When the angeIs sing that that unIikeIy bIend
Are those two funny friends
That ’s us
