Gregory and the Hawk

Boats And Birds | Jan 18th 2006

If you be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by

if you be my boat
I’ll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free

but you can set sail to the west if you want to
and past the horizon till I can’t even see you
far from here where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by

if you be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
stardust to remember you by

  12. A friend described it as his “cloud” song…it really is the most beautiful song i’ve heard in a long time. the imagery in the song… “a sight to store away, then conjure up someday when [you] [are] no longer together” (Nelson DeMille). Pure.

    Comment by Anthony — November 18, 2006 @ 3:28 am

  27. this is “our” song the first time i heard it he was playing it on his psp an i hadnt seen him in ages and he held me in his arms while i cried cause this song is so moving and emotional…. the fact that i never thought i was going to see him again until he turned up on my doorstep that day was completely captured by these lyrics… its a song that represents pure love and devotion that you would even let someone you love leave you if that is what would make them happy… it really represents the meaning of being in love….:(……i have listened to it on repeat eversince its beautiful and is pure… its undescribable. :)

  46. I agree with all of you!

    I Love this song, I thought i heard it on tv. maybe it was my imagination but it was this girl and guy and they were walking everywhere. through walls and the streets to get the eachother. i think it was a show commercial. but it had this song and i was soo in to it that i just sat there.

    the next time i heard it, my friend had burned a cd for me and it had this song. we were listening to this wonderful song in his car when it was raining. and it was soo romantic! =]

  48. this song makes me cry everytime i hear it

    Comment by kwlcm — July 27, 2007 @ 10:22 am

  49. this song made me cry and smile at the same time.it tells all the emotions of being in love and knowing theres a chance they may leave and still being okay with it.but most importantly not killing your love for them.

    thanks so much.

  53. This is a very good song to fall asleep to…because it’s a lullaby. It just is…
    only found in a few days ago.

    A bedtime story, in fact.
    It’s just comfortable and warm.
