Lyrics The Us Below - David Crosby

The Us Below

A billion burning suns
Calmly do
As they did before
Like me and you
Sitting in their place
Bound, but years apart
Stubborn as we are
With matters of the heart
Science, God and you
All agree
We’ve become something
We weren’t meant to be
Paths run parallel
Here and up above
Distance held by hearts
Afraid to open up
Yet even though
Our love burns slow
It warms me
And all around
Sight and sound
Inform me
That we have found
A common ground
Like the stars
Why must we be
Eternally
Alone?
A finely diamond sky
Jewels in everglow
Illuminates the distance
Between the us below
Me here
You there
And in the middle
The frozenness of fear
Yet still we’ve found
A common ground
Like the stars
Why must we be
Eternally
Alone?
