the same stars in the sky

But they seemed so much kinder

when we watched them, you and I

Now the years pull us apart

I'm young and now you're old

But you're still in my heart

And the memory won't grow cold

I left far behind

Where we spent our last few days

Benson's on my mind

blew warm wind through your hair

My body flies the galaxy,

my heart longs to be there

Benson, Arizona,

the same stars in the sky

But they seemed so much kinder

when we watched them, you and I

When I heard the damn

sleeping quarters blow up.
