Urania waits in the cold of space tempts astronomers from their sleep teaches things beyond the reach of human kin gives them answers in their dreams Tide and Time are her lovers and her heart is a star she calls the mind to mystery I heed her call each night at the setting of the sun learn the song that the heavens sing
when Urania sings she opens up my mind Urania sings of the mysteries of space and time she sings, and the heavens open wide Urania sings and the Universe is mine when Urania sings
they say astronomers in the ancient days spent their nights with a beautiful Muse dark as space are the tresses of her night-black hair and on her brow the crescent moon stars join in on the chorus and she wakes me up at night with her celestial symphony I call her name on the essence of a night-long prayer she shows me secrets in her wings
when Urania sings... (chorus)
Urania calls in the dark of night lures astronomers from their beds teaches things that they can never understand puts strange questions in their heads I'll never be afraid of the dark again she's got that moonlight in her eyes she likes to wear her stardust party dress she takes me dancing in the skies
