0 WitchOfDoubt Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 jippiidan: Nope plasmid: Nope plainglazed: That almost works! It definitely hits the last verse, and it mostly works for the first. I'll count it as "correct, but not expected." For everyone else: "I stare from my star" is a key line. You can't stare from most of these answers - you can't stare from the moon, or a lake, or a snowflake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Solution: It is a window. The colour of the window in the night is white, yet it is golden in the day. The sun shines through it, so they shine without making the light. Very poor insulators so the glass is often cold. If you've ever been up in a plane or something at night, every window with a light on is like a star in a constellation. You can look out your window at the stars at night.
