Tonight, Hold Your Curtain Open

Tonight, hold your curtain open
I did not know where you are
Nor how to reach your distant star
Please, leave your light on and drapes ajar
Tonight, I am going to swim across the Milky Way
I do not know if the voyage is too far
Or whether the ocean of stars
Will be too turbulent for me
Tonight, my heavy heart is full of dreams
I did not purchase a return ticket
Nor am I wearing a life jacket
I do not know where you are
Nor how to reach your distant star
However, whether I sink or swim
Tonight, hold your curtain open
And wait for me
