That New Year’s evening saw a star
We watched the fireworks afar
Your soft warm hand caressed my skin
We walked on ice that was too thin

The sparkling rain of light above
Once more I promised you my love
All that was pure and good and true
So careless thrown away by you

That night we were waiting on the shore
For a light that shines no more
Yes, we were falling like the stars
Too much gravity on Mars

All the promises you made
Like coloured flags on a parade
Flying against an April sky
How could I know the end was nigh?

You left me out there in the rain
As our love went down the drain
Turned into little selfish lies
My faith in you was my demise

That night we were waiting on the shore
For a light that shines no more
Yes, we were falling like the stars
Too much gravity on Mars

From everything to nothing
In no time at all
Why can’t you just come with me
Before the bitter end?
Maybe we pretend
We’d have a second chance
How I wished we’d had a chance
To start again with our romance

That night we were waiting on the shore
For a light that shines no more
Yes, we were falling like the stars
Too much gravity on Mars
Where the rain never falls
