Lyrics:

My sister and my brother ships speak softly by my side
But I only hear the emptiness of space
And a siren song which calls to me from a burning, white-hot star
Promising oblivion and peace

Chorus:
And the stars still dance the spiral dance,
And the planets circle far
But the ship who sang will sing no more
Between the distant stars
I'll sing no more.

For my love lies dead within me, his voice forever still
It seems as though my heart will never mend
The music's died unfinished, his song is at an end
We'll never sing again

(Chorus)

Now I could turn and fly away, a rogue without a home
And turn my back on all that we have known
But a hundred years is far too long to live on nothing more
Than memories and heartache, all alone

(Chorus)

So here, upon this lonely field, I'll bid my love goodbye
The honors at his graveside are the best
And somehow I will find my voice and fill the silent plain
Yes, I'll sing him to his rest

And the stars will dance the spiral dance,
And the planets circle far
And the ship who sang will sing once more
Between the distant stars
I'll sing once more.

And the ship who sang will sing once more
Between the distant stars
I'll sing once more.
