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 what is simple needs protecting
My illusions all would shatter
But you stayed in my corner
The only world I know was upside down
And now the world and me will 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 me
You see the patterns in the big sky (yeah yeah)
Those constellations look like you and I
That tiny planet and the bigger guy
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry
Just like the patterns in the big sky
(Be together)
We'll be together 'til the end is nigh
(Don't know, you don't know)
Don't know the answer or the reason why
(Stick together)
We'll stick together 'til the day we die
If I had to do this all a second time
I won't complain or make a fuss
Who would the angels send
But that unlikely blend
Of those two funny friends
That's us?
