[Verse 1: Tobias Sammet]
Walking down a lonely road
A ghost city sidewalk scene
And I wonder if there's a place
Where they bury all their unborn dreams, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Some castle in the sky, a place
That only I can back down to
And look out for that shining guide ablaze
Out somewhere

[Chorus]
Waiting for a sign in vain
That’s gonna shine away the pain
Gonna draw the moonlight down
All is gonna tumble down

[Post-Chorus]
Are you gonna guide me, starlight?
Guide me, starlight
Won't you send me a sign?

[Verse 2: Ronnie Atkins]
You're adrift until you strand
Desert island of mundanity
You circle round your solitude
Within the walls they call austerity
[Pre-Chorus]
I know maybe it’s insane
To dream of what you'll never gain
Nothing on the line
Driven by unsettled certainty

[Chorus: Ronnie Atkins, Tobias Sammet and Both]
Waiting for a sign in vain
That's gonna shine away the pain
Gonna cite a figment down
Yet I'm gonna stick around
Are you gonna guide me, starlight?
Guide me, starlight
Are you out there, anywhere, at all?
Anywhere at all

[Bridge: Tobias Sammet]
If only I'd burn out before I'd hit the ground
Just like you before, they're near me
Run out in the clouds forever near me
I won't even be a foolish memory

Waiting for a sign in vain
Orphan star, shine on me

[Tobias Sammet]
Waiting for a sign...
[Chorus: Ronnie Atkins]
Waiting for a sign in vain
Gonna shine away the pain
Gonna draw the moonlight down
All is gonna tumble down

[Both]
Are you gonna hear me, starlight?
Hear me, starlight
Are you out there anywhere at all?

[Tobias Sammet]
Waiting for a sign...

[Ronnie Atkins]
Waiting for a sign in vain
Gonna shine away the pain
Gonna draw the moonlight down
All is gonna tumble down

[Both]
Are you gonna hear me, starlight?
Hear me, starlight
Are you out there?
