They say he who swallowed a falling star
Oh, heartless man your heart is ours
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But your star is fading out
It's time to cut it loose

I'm lying face down in the sand
As a bed of beach is slipping through my hands
And on a lonely shoreline the clocks are ticking
To catch me in my consciousness

We're on a howling castle marching to the myth
I'm retracing the fantasy so I can fit in
Forget the details and demand I recall
Every single letter that slips under the door
'Cus every minor moment we want to give in evermore

And now we are stuck
Between the stars and the antimatter
It's all unfamiliar ground

As I chase the aurora down
Looking up at all the stars falling to the ground
I will keep safe this forlorn heart I've found
Yet still I feel the cosmos whisper in my ear
Heads in the clouds
Where constellations can sing out loud
Like a symphony of colours in the night
So I chased the aurora down
And now I've seen it all
I feel the grass give way under my feet, revealing a flower-bed of grey

They say he who swallowed a falling star
Oh, heartless man your heart is ours
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news
But your star is fading out
It's time to cut it loose
They say he who swallowed a falling star
Oh, heartless man your heart's already ours

Oh how the scarecrows scatter
Underneath their weathered, wooden skin
So find me and fix me, marionette me, walk me to the edge
'Cus every time you walk by
I feel your warmth and cold in dissonance

Now the rain floods in, brought by the wind
And I can't escape it

Now our hearts, they guide the way
I'll find the northern lights one day

As I chase the aurora down
Looking up at all the stars falling to the ground
I will keep safe this forlorn heart I've found
Yet still I feel the cosmos whisper in my ear
Heads in the clouds
Where constellations can sing out loud
Like a symphony of colours in the night
So I chased the aurora down
And now I've seen it all
