In the sky, in days gone by I could count a million stars Now, most nights, with city lights I'm left wondering where they are All the world that we've created Is lying just outside my door But the stars - the deep-night heavens I can't see them anymore Once you see Once you know Nothing else will do There's an ebb And there's a flow And a truth beyond the true For it's only in the dark, now That we can see so far We can see halfway to Heaven In one shining prairie star I recall that early Fall When I followed love to town Long years passed, and now, at last Time to turn myself around I'll go West, I'll leave the rest Leave these city lights behind Back to home, my blood and bone To see how many stars I'll find Once you see Once you know Nothing else will do There's an ebb And there's a flow And a truth beyond the true For it's only in the dark, now That we can see so far We can see halfway to Heaven In one shining prairie star We can see halfway to Heaven In one shining prairie star
