Strange things are happening everyday
I hear the music up above my head
Oh the side of my heart has left me again

Secrets are written in the sky
It looks like I've lost the love I've never found

Dark and silky like a friend where love wore off
Looking for the land that's hidden in the cross
Find it's lost

I know, I love you too much
I'll go on alone, to get through

I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they're gone
And tonight, she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music above
