Simple Minds

It's a long cold distance through the galaxies
If my eyes were open wide maybe I could see
If a burned out future seems like all that's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor

Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are

That's who you are
Ever been out walking where the air gets thin
Or stranded on a planet losing out on oxygen?
Scream out "listen" in a silent place
Feel that you're falling, calling into space

Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are

That's who you are
That's who you are

It's a long cold distance through the galaxies
My eyes were open wide, oh desolately
If a burned out future seems like all that's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor

Jeweller to the stars, Jeweller to the stars
Jeweller to the stars, that's who you are

That's who you are
