Chariots
Stars that go flashing on by
Are like chariots riding the sky
There's been a hole in my heart
Since the moment when we had to part
I know you're free
Flying without me
And you're no longer feeling pain
But I miss you so
I wonder if you know
And how I'm dealing with the strain
Once I was pretty and young
Once you were pretty and strong
Now my skin is wrinkled and I'm gray
Since the day when you went away
And now you're free
Flying without me
Where there are no more tears or pain
But my life is slow
As I wait to go
Back home to your arms again
But you're dancing now
Out in the coldness of space
I try to find my new place
You were the heart of the sun
Tears won't put out when I'm done
And I know now you're free
Dancing without me
Feeling the sun on your face
But I still miss you so
And I can't wait to go
To meet you in that holy place
But you're dancing now
Stars that shine in the sky
The chariot takes me to die
I'm sorry I've caused you all pain
But now I can be whole again
And I know you are free
So please just wait for me
I cannot wait any more
I've been waiting so long
I've sung this old song
But now I can step through the door
And we're dancing now
