lyrics

STAR
By David Poe
© 1997 Charming Martyr (BMI.)

In the sun of the world
Up where
Metal wings
Turn pink
There's a rumor of you
That on your way
To the store
You found a dollar in the snow
It was a fabulous rehearsal for your soul


I know how cold you can be
Years of light ahead of me
Reflecting everything you see

Like a star outside my window

In your place
I feel so tall
Winter makes the room small
Windows cold as alcohol evaporates
In the weight of your eye
Do you dream in silver lines
And will you lend your earthly light on me

After all my grace has fled
To the calm inside a bed
Will you shine above my head

Like a star outside my window

Like a star
Well you come to my window
You're like a star
You're like a star
Like a star
On a national morning
Like a star
You burn out slow

In the sun of the world
Up where
Metal wings
Turn pink
There's a rumor of you
