[Verse 1]

Here by the lake, what a vision you are

In the light of the emerald star

I’ve come for you, my love

Through a window in the dark

Don’t you know you’re my everything?

If I lost you, I think I would die

Was everything you said just a lie?


[Chorus]

You never loved me

I came all the way through time and space

To take you away and out of this place

With the moonlight in your eyes

You’re the brightest star in all of the sky

I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies


[Verse 2]

Oh, what a jewel are you

And, oh, what a fool am I

For squandering my love

On an emerald in the sky

Way out here in the void

Is the loneliest place to die

When everything you loved is a lie


[Chorus]

You never loved me

I came all the way through time and space

To take you away and out of this place

You’re an emerald in the sky

You light up the night by blinkin’ your eyes

I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies
