Night was slowly falling when I thought I heard your voice
Left you in the city when I heard I had a choice
I tried, I know I only lied
I was resigned to my life, babe

Here within the darkness, where my actions are my own
I can smell the jasmine, I can see our sacred home
I fear, I may have left what's dear
But I'll be here for a while, babe

Oh, my stars are wandering
So far from me, I'm blind, you see
Take one look and pass me by
As days go by, you'll heal--I'll die

I suppose my roots may grow without
Feet set in stone
Bones free to roam from doubt

All I'm owed is all I owe myself
Rivers of peace
Canyons of grace and wealth

Oh, my stars are wandering
So far from me, I'm blind, you see
Take one look and pass me by
As days go by, you'll heal, I'll die
