Lyrics: James Deacon
Music: Paul Gala/James Deacon
Time runs like lines across your face
Chemicals running through your veins
Gathered around you like an altar
Praying to Gods I don't Believe in
How do I see sense in all this pain
When my hero's gone where will I shelter from the rain
Oh I know they're calling you home
Oh I know they're calling you home
‘Cause even when a star burns out you'll see it for a thousand years
I'll live every day for you I'll never let them see my tears
‘Cause even when a star burns out you'll see it for a thousand years
I'll live every day for you I'll never let them see my fears
Don't you be sad about my passing
I was surely born to die on this day
I carried the weight of my life upon my shoulders
Until the day when my legs couldn't hold no more
Oh don't you see all my pain is gone
You will find your way to shelter from the storm
Oh I know they're calling me home
Oh I know they're calling me home
‘Cause even when a star burns out you'll see it for a thousand years
I'll live every day for you I'll never let them see my tears
‘Cause even when a star burns out you'll see it for a thousand years
I'll live every day for you I'll never let them see my fears
But you left the light on
Before you go I want you to know
Forever I am gonna leave the light on
‘Cause even when a star burns out you'll see it for a thousand years
