No fresh water

Equivocate your standing still
Always consider the source
And just follow TRUE NORTH!

(V1) What cosmic luck
Our ships got stuck
Here of all the places!
Our masses might not have passed each other

(V2) Chance brought me to you and
As long as we've been orbiting
Acts of god and lousy odds have not had much to do
With how I feel about you
And I'd do whatever the universe
Thought appropriate in return
To make permanent us
(V1) Us for all time
(V2) Time standing still
(V1) Still our star shines
(V1 & V2) Shines bright until...
