Carl Lyrics

there will come soft rains in time, when you are grey and older

not a single cloud will know the burdens we have shouldered

earth, if i may, stand on your stage

larger than life, and life as large as we are

this lonely light looms in the cosmic night

we fell in love and spilled our blood on the pale blue dot

every way erodes the lines ’til there’s no good, there’s only kind

kids and killers shed their bones on this, the only home we’ve known

earth, if i may, stand on your stage

larger than life, and life as large as we are

this lonely light looms in the cosmic night

we fell in love and spilled our blood on the pale blue dot

and by design, the iris of your eye

hides the hints of amber in the artificial light

once brilliant blue, so innocent and new
