I was just listening to my Project 490 iTunes playlist (the one that ran most of the time while I was writing Star-Crossed), and it occurred to me that I hadn't included the rest of the lyrics to the opening title (which the epigraph comes from) in the notes for the piece anywhere. I'm pretty sure I did post this song to the Symphony of the Sword board at some point, because it's also a pretty obvious Corwin-Utena song, but it so completely became about Star-Crossed when I started reworking Lot 490 - particularly the bit I chose as the epigraph and the last verse - that it deserves to be pointed out in that context.Somewhere there are orange trees
Somewhere skies are blue
Somewhere there's a bridge across
The world from me to you
And sometimes in the darkest hour
The sun comes shining through
And tonight it seems so far from me to you
Yeah tonight it seems so far from me to you
Some of us are safe alone
Some of us pretend
That we can always start again
The things we never end
Some of us are born to fall
Others to stay true
But tonight it seems so far from me to you
Yeah tonight it seems so far from me to you
So tell me if you hear me, come on
Tell me tell me can you hear me, come on
Yeah tell me if you hear me, come on and tell me
I'm awake for you
And sometimes in the darkest hour
Love comes shining through
And it doesn't seem so far from me to you
No it doesn't seem so far from me to you
Listening in the darkness
To a voice I call my own
Shameful that my emptiness
Is turning me to stone
In the silence of the night
Love comes shining through
And it doesn't seem so far from me to you
No it doesn't seem so far from me to you
I'm deep into my darkest hour
Love comes shining through
And it doesn't seem so far from me to you
No it doesn't seem so far from me to you
