Starlight - Avantasia, Ronnie Atkins

Walking down a lonely road

A ghost city sidewalk scene

And I wonder if there’s a place

Where they bury all their unborn dreams — oh

Some castle in the sky

A place that only I can back down to

And look out for that shining guide ablaze

Out somewhere

Waiting for a sign in vain

That’s gonna shine away the pain

Gonna draw the moonlight down

All is gonna tumble down

Are you gonna guide me starlight

Guide me starlight

Won’t you send me a sign?

You’re adrift until you strand

Desert island of mundanity

You circle round your solitude

Within the walls they call austerity

I know maybe it’s insane

To dream of what you’ll never gain

Nothing on the line

Driven by unsettled certainty

Waiting for a sign in vain

That’s gonna shine away the pain

Gonna cite a figment down

Yet I’m gonna stick around

Are you gonna guide me starlight

Guide me starlight

Are you out there, anywhere, at all?

Anywhere at all

If only I’d burn out before I’d hit the ground

Just like you before they’re near me

Run out in the clouds forever near me

I won’t even be a foolish memory

Waiting for a sign in vain

Orphan star…

Shine on me!

Waiting for a sign…

Waiting for a sign in vain

Gonna shine away the pain

Gonna draw the moonlight down

All is gonna tumble down

Are you gonna hear me starlight

Hear me starlight

Are you out there anywhere at all

Waiting for a sign…

Waiting for a sign in vain

Gonna shine away the pain

Gonna draw the moonlight down

All is gonna tumble down

Are you gonna hear me starlight

Hear me starlight

Are you out there
