    Story Behind the Song
    Scott was walking his dog (Zak, for you trivia buffs) one night and suddenly thought that Constellation would be a good title for a song. So we wrote one.

    Lyrics
    CONSTELLATION
    ©1997 Scott Cowan, Joe Scherk, Peter Violas
    Lyrics: Scott Cowan, Joe Scherk
    Music & Arrangement: Scott Cowan, Joe Scherk, Peter Violas

    The spark inside was like a magnet drawing her to you
    A well of wisdom that's almost too pure to look into
    But the cup you give her always dries and leaves her wanting

    You open windows, just a glimpse of who you really are
    You slam them in her face, though you know that she can see that far
    Through fingerprints and tears, your image fades to nothing

    Don't swallow your heart as it's beating (don't swallow your heart)
    Don't silence your song - open your eyes
    Was the promise of you worth believing? (you'll tear her apart)
    The light's nearly gone - will the sun ever rise?

    I guess it's what they call a no-win situation
    I talk too much, and you never listen
    There's a light inside of you, boy,
    that burns brighter than a constellation
    But you're just as distant

    You have two hands, I see them reaching for a common key
    One crushes out a cigarette, while the other holds infinity
    The race you run won't take you where you should be going

    And it's unkind to choose which side of you you'll let us see
    You blow my mind! How many people can one person be?
    (You're one too many for me)
    Quickly, let us reason while your better half is showing

    Don't swallow your heart…

    So what's the point of all this one-way conversation?
    You nod your head, but there's something missing
    There's a light inside of you, boy,
    that burns brighter than a constellation
    But you're just as distant

    She bites back tears and talks of reconciliation
    Hang up the phone, walk back to prison
    There's a light inside of you, boy,
    that burns brighter than a constellation
    But you're just as distant
