Standing in a car park

Somewhere in New Mexico

Put 50 dollars on my phone

And try to call you at home

Staring up at a desert sky

The stars are bright and the moon's so high

I'm thinking are we staring at the same stars

Oh tell me are we staring at the same stars?

I'll cut down, I'll cut down a forest for you

To build a boat, a boat to cross the sea

And through wind and through rain I would sail

To be there to hold you if you'd hold me

But all I really want to know

Is whatever you're thinking of

And all I really want to hear

Is whatever you've got to say

Are we staring at the same stars?

Are we staring at the same stars?

Are we staring at the same stars tonight?

Walking down on Broadway

Looking for an open door

For New York City never sleeps

And I don't sleep much anymore

Looking out over Battery Park

The boats go by and I look to the sky

I'm thinking are we staring at the same stars

Oh tell me are we staring at the same stars?

I'll cut down, I'll cut down a forest for you

To build a boat, a boat to cross the sea

And through wind and through rain I would sail

To be there to hold you if you'd hold me

But all I really want to know

Is whatever you're thinking of

And all I really want to hear

Is whatever you've got to say

Are we staring at the same stars?

Are we staring at the same stars?

Just give me a call
