Venus
Sleeping At Last
The night sky once ruled my imagination
Now I turn the dials with careful calculation
After a while, I thought I’d never find you
I convinced myself that I would never find you
When suddenly I saw you
At first I thought you were a constellation
I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation
You’re as beautiful as endless
You’re the universe I’m helpless in
An astronomer at my best
When I throw away the measurements
Like a telescope
I will pull you so close
’Til no space lies in between
And suddenly I see you
Suddenly I see you
I was a billion little pieces
’Til you pulled me into focus
Astronomy in reverse
It was me who was discovered
(I thought I’d never find you
When suddenly I saw you)
Like a telescope
I will pull you so close
’Til no space lies in between
Then, suddenly, I see you
