My Cosmic Love
Buffalo Fuzz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you the heavens that I live below?
My cosmic love, how did you know?
That deep in the darkness, I live alone
You are the sun, I am the moon
(Keep close in sight, and light my way through)
You are the sun, I am the moon
Through the night
(Light my way) through the night
My cosmic love, would it be wrong?
To chase through the skies, where we belong
My cosmic love, how long, how long?
Before the darkness gives way to dawn
You are the sun, I am the moon
(Keep close in sight, and light my way through)
You are the sun, I am the moon
(Keep close in sight, and light my way)
Through the night
(Light my way) through the night
My cosmic love, why do you stay?
The lesser of stars would soon betray
My cosmic love, the gods we obey
Just as the night gives into day
You are the sun, I am the moon
(Keep close in sight, and light my way through)
You are the sun, I am the moon
(Keep close in sight, and light my way)
Through the night
(Light my way) through the night
(Light my way) through the night
(Light my way) through the night
