lyrics

VERSE
He lit his house with fire
From kerosene stars
Stared up at the sky, smoking his cigar

And he tried to find the moonlight
She trapped inside a jar
But couldn’t even find the light that used to hold his heart
After all they’d been through
How did he fall so far?
To keep something as selfish
As kerosene stars

PRE
And now the skys grown too dark for a night like tonight
The oil’s burning low he’s out of time
He douses the flame and looses his mind

REFRAIN
It’s only him and nothing but the sky
It’s only him and nothing but the sky

VERSE
She lit her house with moonbeams
She’d polished from a stone
The stone it only shown when
When she was on her own

The darkness was so lonely but now so was light
She wondered where the stars went
And cried into the night
You only had to hold me
Only had to see the way
I looked inside your heart
Before the stars began to fade


PRE
And now the skys grown too dark for a night like tonight
The bed’s growing cold, she won't sleep on his side
She borrowed the moon but stole the light

REFRAIN
It’s only her and nothing but the sky
It’s only her and nothing but the sky


BRIDGE
Lovers on the highway
Lovers of the past
Only lovers know how to
Burn through what should last

Love laid on an ashtray
The fire laid to rest
Only lovers know how to
Burn through what should last
Yes only lovers know how to burn through what should last
Oh only lovers know how to burn up what should last

Final Refrain
It’s only you and nothing but the sky
It’s only you and nothing but the sky
