Could we leave this world behind, Stealing time, Making our escape From these Silver Shores, Nothing more Than the Startide seas that await? If you only knew What I never asked of you. If you only knew What I never asked of you. Fall into me, my dove. Let the stars watch from above. Your subtle pull falls away. The sun comes up For one last day. If you only knew What I never asked of you. If you only knew What I never asked of you.

Sailing through the glow! Solar winds that start to speak, Whispered worlds beyond my reach. Starlight guide me home! Spectral strings and melodies Subtle sounds and symphonies. Through this starlit sea, I leave the life I've known. Everything I need To breathe a song my own. Suddenly I wake to see A world that falls away from me; A new sunrise. Gravity releases me; Another piece inside of me Comes alive. Through this starlit sea, I leave the life I've known. Everything I need To breathe a song my own.

What was lost on you Meant the world to me. Could you find me now - A tear in the sea? The stars have spoken. My words are broken. A love that's been lost Can never be stolen. I thought we had time, But distances grew. My heartbeat grows old, Your heart beats anew. If you only knew What I never asked of you. You were my Moon. Why would you set on me so soon? Am I coming through to you? If you only knew, If you only knew. Am I coming through to you? You were my Moon. Am I coming through?

Beyond the shores of worlds I've seen, Lost in the deep. Into the depths of dark unknown, Strange matter flows. Drifting through these dancing beams Across the veil of twilight dreams, Steady to The Siren's Call, Into the darkness of it all. Drawn By waves of fate. Love, Am I too late? Beyond the shores of worlds I've seen, Lost in the deep. Into the depths of dark unknown, Strange matter flows.

Defy the stars When it falls apart. Embrace the tide, Not even Love Survives. Defy the stars When it falls apart. Embrace the tide, Not even Love Survives. A dying star Burning bright, But the light Fell apart. This final flight Through the dark Where our hearts Will unite On Silver Shores We dance forevermore. A thousand lives, I never said goodbye. Defy the stars When it falls apart. Embrace the tide, Not even Love Survives. Defy the stars When it falls apart. Embrace the tide, Not even Love Survives. On Silver Shores We dance forevermore. A thousand lives, I never said goodbye.
