Story Behind The Song
This song was written around a little piano riff that I was playing. My music partner on this song and I created a nice instrumental bed over which I tried to 'float' a pleasant melody. I then wrote the lyrics around some actual facts about my relationship with my wife. I like the ending of the song, which has a synth part reminiscent of Kate Bush.

Lyrics
There's a comet flying in the sky
By the time it comes around to us
We'll have died
What a thought - oh my
And when all the world is said and done
We'll have made a wish on every star that's ever shone
One by one
They're for me & you - me & you
I just can't believe how time goes by
Ever since I was a child
I was looking for the truth in a smile
And your eyes stole me
Now we dream of all we might have been
And we realize that everyone
In our scene
Wishes they were me & you, me & you
There're no secrets that we keep inside
Still they wonder what it is we hide
They're just blind
Everybody wants to wake up beside you - like me & you
All the lessons that we never learned
All the chances that we burned
Well, it's true but somehow we still survive
And your eyes . . .
Birds can tell when you're watching them
You have to look away and let them sing
Birds can tell when you're watching them
Flying out the window, love is out the door
Flying out the window, love is out the door
Dollars out the window, love is out the door
