V1
I used to watch an indigo sky
Where heavens were clear
To the naked eye
And the Milky Way
Was a dusting of powdered stars
V2
I used to lie on dew-laden grass
And dream awake
While dark hours passed
And I gazed into
Wild creations own avatar
Chorus
No more night-time vista now
Urban lights claim that domain
On the velvet band of midnight
Diamonds are invisible
Only a tarnished pearl remains
V3
I used to sense a long-ago age
Not yet inscribed
On a pristine page
And I wondered how
We ever survived this far
Chorus
No more night-time vista now
Urban lights claim that domain
On the velvet band of midnight
Diamonds are invisible
Only a tarnished pearl remains
