Symmetry of the Stars Songtext

von David Knopfler

In the symmetry of the stars
God plays to a higher purpose
In the symmetry of the stars
God paints on a giant canvas
Some see majestic clockwork
Some see chaos as they would
For some the infinite reach of meanings
Are in absolutes

In the symmetry of the stars
An architect with a higher purpose
Is in the symmetry of the stars
Creating on a wider canvass
Some see majestic clockwork
Some seek chaos as they would
For some the infinite reach of meanings
Are an absolute good

Someone's here to see you
To touch you with their smile
The waters are wide across the Great Divide
Honey don't touch that dial
Don't touch that dial

In the symmetry of the stars
We'll be working to a higher purpose
In the symmetry of the stars
We'll be painting on a brighter canvass
Where some see majestic clockwork
Some seek chaos as they would
For some there's an infinite reach of meaning
And absolute good
A satellite spins as it should
In the symmetry of stars
