Electrolite
Like a whisper in the night,
a shooting star across the sky --
You are my electrolite.
Shining brighter than the firefly spark,
emitting a soft sigh
Like a whisper in the night.
I reach for you with all my might,
we’re not willing to say good-bye --
You are my electrolite.
Flickering, shining, you captivate my sight
wish I could fly like an eagle soars,
Like a whisper in the night.
This longing we feel cannot be right,
never give up, always reaching, try --
You are my electrolite.
You stay locked in the sky, away at a great height,
a shooting star across the sky.
Like a whisper in the night --
You are my electrolite.
