TEARS OF THE STARS

A deeply poignant and reflective track about the passage of time, enduring love, and the traces we leave behind. Through evocative imagery of old clocks, faded pencil marks, and quiet orchards, the lyrics capture the bittersweet reality that while moments slip away like a river, the love we shared and the lessons we pass down remain rooted in the lives we touch. It is a gentle, moving reminder that even as years depart, their light continues to live on within the heart. ✨🍃

The old clock keeps its silver face
While seasons turn without a sound
The room where we once marked our days
Holds only dust upon the ground
Your pencil marks beside the door
Still measure how we grew apart
A faded number, nothing more
Yet somehow heavy on the heart

We watched the afternoon grow gold
Then watched the gold give way to blue
The years moved on, the hands grew old
But every day was lived with you

Tears of the stars, fall over the years
Time takes the moment, but not what it meant
Though every bright season disappears
Love leaves its mark where the hours were spent
Tears of the stars, shining through change
We carry the dawn in the lives that we lead
The past is a river that cannot be stayed
But its waters still run in the roots of the seed

The orchard leans above the lane
Its branches know the weight of snow
We carved our names before the rain
Could wash the little letters low
Now children race where we once ran
Their laughter lifts the quiet air
The world remakes its careful plan
And leaves a trace of us somewhere

No hand can hold the turning tide
No voice can call a year to stay
Yet all the things we held inside
Become the light we pass away

Tears of the stars, fall over the years
Time takes the moment, but not what it meant
Though every bright season disappears
Love leaves its mark where the hours were spent
Tears of the stars, shining through change
We carry the dawn in the lives that we lead
The past is a river that cannot be stayed
But its waters still run in the roots of the seed

If every hour must leave our hands
Then let it leave us something true
A word of kindness, one last dance
A little courage passed along to you
The sky grows wide, the day moves on
And still the heart can choose its part
We are the days that have been gone
Made living in another heart

Tears of the stars, fall over the years
Time takes the moment, but not what it meant
Though every bright season disappears
Love leaves its mark where the hours were spent
Tears of the stars, shining through change
We carry the dawn in the lives that we lead
The past is a river that cannot be stayed
But its waters still run in the roots of the seed

The hands move on, the years depart
Their light remains within the heart
