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
Jeweller to the stars
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?
While feeling like you're falling, calling into space?

Jeweller to the stars
Jeweller to the stars
Jeweller to the stars
Jeweller to the stars
That's who you are

It's a long cold distance through the galaxies
My eyes were open wide, dazzling me
If a burned out future is what's in store
I'd tumble to the ground like a fading meteor

Jeweller to the stars
That's who you are
