There’s a lonely star shining in the sky tonight
A lonely star shining, breaking up the night
I knew you were watching me from the carousel
It would’ve been easier if your friends weren’t there as well

Could you see me as a poet or an impossible dreamer
Do you see me as one of life’s lack-lustre politic old schemers
I thought of myself as nothing until I met you
Did you think the same as me or were you just passing through

You got into a discussion about Tolstoy and Descartes
The only cards I knew about were the ace and queen of hearts
It’s only my intolerance that stops you getting through
Did you think the same as me that night or were you just passing through
