stargazer's song
from some distances the northern lights looks like strange alien fireworks and that's exactly how you always seemed to me. you were the northern lights and i was the half-blind backyard stargazer certainly sometimes you get to where you think you know a thing you think you've got it down but every time in every way sooner or later you find, to your surprise that every moving part every little gesture has all the mystery of you has all the mystery of the northern lights at least a little it's like witchcraft how you stick and move around every little thing i thought you were (i sometimes still think you are) it's worth taking the time to get to know people, and it's even more worth taking the time to not know them and that's how i know you: i know only that i don't know you at all you are the northern lights and i am the mad scientist pulling at his hair and wringing his hands but how else could i want you? you were strange and dark and you were always the northern lights to me.
