the stars appear along the treetops 
it can't be night until the sun is gone 
taken from dawn 

so where i'll go is just a secret 
between the dark and the cold mountaintops 
dusk is falling 

the trail is old, but the trees are older 
and as i walk, i leave the earth behind 
out of my mind 

so off the path my body wanders 
between the dark and the cold mountaintops 
i am calling 

i drift along just for the journey 
with only stars to tell me where i've been 
how far have i gone? 

like a sickness, it takes me over 
between the dark and the cold mountaintops 
the sun is rising 

look up in awe 
the sky is what i want 
you've seen it all along 
and my heart is 
burnin' up in stars 
yeah, it's really not so far 

although i search, i cannot find it 
an empty space within my memory 
a place of my dreams 

perhaps someday, i will awaken 
between the dark and the cold mountaintops 
where dusk is falling
