Death of a dreamer

Up on the highest tower
a dreamer died tonight
he climbed as high as he could get
but still couldn't touch the sky

So in the darkest hour
when the world doesn't see
he took his last step
and the last thing he saw was me

Then he fell into the stars
and became one of them
finally he was up high
and his world at last began

And now when I look up into the stars
I see his face up there
and all the other million faces
that died and landed there

A million dreamers shine tonight
at last, finally
and when I look up to them
sometimes I wish it could be me

And then I make a wish upon the stars
I wish I could climb higher
than anyone ever before
and I could touch the sky, yeah



Up on the highest tower
a dreamer died tonight
she climbed as high as she could get
but still couldn't touch the sky

So in the darkest hour
when the world doesn't see
she took her last step
and was never to be seen

But she fell into the stars
and became one of them
finally she was up high
and her world at last began

So if you wonder where I am
just look into the stars
there my life shines so brightly
'cause that's where dreamers are

This actually reminds me of a novel I have been working on for a long time. I love the old-English feel of it.

Thank you so much for your kind review :)

Very Romeo and Juliet. I love the imagery here.
Are we who write all not dreamers. We all have a star in the night sky.
You've captured pure emotion in this and I like you brought reality and fantasy together.
