To fight the battle between darkness and light
   There he is sitting all alone...
   He found the starry sky one night, a secret he will keep
   There is a house next to the station
   It's not abandoned any more
   You see the lights up at the station
   Somebody's living there for sure
   No one's ever stayed inside up there till dawn arrives
   There was some damage to the spacecraft
   So now they're stuck in outer space
   Something went wrong down at the lift-off
   Two billion miles or more away
   "We'll send another capsule
   so they may be back in June..."
   He lit a candle from the fireplace
   Sat on the floor and watched it breathe
   See the Lightkeeper finally found his place
   And he won't rise, won't fall asleep
   Our lives are lying there before us, awaiting
   So many ways to make it right
   And still they're all the same to me
   These stars all look the same
   And still they're all the same to me
   These days are all the same
