ask me again
ten years from tonight
ask the stars in the desert
with no moon in sight
remind me how
we looked out from this table
far as we were able to see
remember us then
looking passed sight
counting our chances
could we be right?
question so strong
answer so weak
who would ever believe
we’d believe?
chorus :
did we do all we could?
would we do it again?
when the passage of time
was all that we had
ask me again
ten years from tonight
ask the stars in the desert
with no moon in sight
bridge:
tell me again
did we lean on ahead
was tomorrow a crutch
we never knew that we had
ask me again
ten years from tonight
did I tell you your future
did you tell me mine?
chorus :
did we do all we could?
would we do it again?
when the passage of time
was all that we had
ask me again
ten years from tonight
ask the stars in the desert
with no moon in sight
will we be alright
ten years from tonight
so looking back
ten years from tonight
does everyone stumble
pressed into life
do questions survive
answers arrive
like stars in the desert
with no moon in sight
chorus :
did we do all we could?
would we do it again?
when the passage of time
was all that we had
ask me again
ten years from tonight
ask the stars in the desert
with no moon in sight
yes, we’ll be alright
ten years from tonight
