  • In the quiet time of evening
    When the stars assume their patterns
    And the day has made his journey
    And we wondered just what happened

    To the life we knew before the world changed
    When not a thing I held was true
    But you were kind to me and you reminded me

    That the world is not my playground
    There are other things that matter
    And when a simple needs protecting
    My illusions all would shatter

    But you stayed in my corner
    The only world I knew was upside down
    And now the world and me, I know you carry me

    You see the patterns in the big sky
    Those constellations look like you and I
    Just like the patterns in the big sky
    We could be lost, we could refuse to try

    But we made it through in the dark night
    Would those lucky guys turn out to be
    But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me

    I'm not as clever as I thought I was
    I'm not the boy I used to be because
    You showed me something different
    You showed me something pure
    I always seemed so certain but I was really never sure

    But you stayed and you called my name
    When others would have walked out on a lousy game
    And you could've made it through
    But your funny friend and you.

    You see the patterns in the big sky
    Those constellations look like you and I
    That tiny planet in a bigger guy
    I don't know whether I should laugh or cry

    Just like the patterns in the big sky
    We'll be together ?til the end this time
    Don't know the answer or the reason why
    We'll stick together till the day we die

    If I had to do this all a second time
    I won't complain or make a fuss
    When the angels sing that that unlikely blend
    Are those two funny friends, that's us Writer/s: David Harltley, Gordon Matthew Sumner
