I've been falling for you for so long   Nothing you say or do can be wrong   My heart won't break down on you- it's too strong   I've been falling for you for so long      The stars shine like turpentine   For you and me and nobody   Shine, shine for nobody      Even after I have hit the ground   Even when you are no longer around   My love for you will be the softest sound   Even after I have hit the ground      The sunrise is no surprise   And then it sets with no regrets   Because it shines, shines for nobody      I was standing on the rooftop this morning   Birds were flying counterclockwise   'Round the church tower    I could see them   Past the barbed wire fence   In circles they went backwards through time   Then I heard the church bells chime      I once mistook the clock for the moon   My eyes see things a little out of tune   I was singing when the flowers bloomed   I once mistook the clock for the moon      The stars shine like turpentine   For you and me and nobody   Shine, shine, shine   Shine, shine, shine   Shine, for nobody
