Starfi lled night, climbing stairs.
Huge space, fi lled with empty chairs.
Filled with nagging nothing, the engines hum.
By myself, moving to a thudding drum.
I will run, run, run, run these hollow halls.
Run, run, run, past echoing walls.
Run, run, run, drawn to your heat, that calls me.
In a vast and darkened ship, and it’s running with no sound.
Noone ever told me exactly where it’s bound.
If I have to go alone, stumbling through the night.
I don’t think I can make it, in the absence of your light.
Standing at the threshold, freezing night at my back.
Please let me in, you’re the warmth and fi re that I lack.
I will run, run, run, run these hollow halls.
Run, run, run, past echoing walls.
Run, run, run, drawn to your heat, that calls me.
My heart works the nightshift alone.
