lyrics

New Star

Twilight
On the yellow house
Next door and I’m feelin’
Like opening up all the blinds again
Your smile
Has kept me through this bitter time
I’m guessin’ I’ll be up to speed
In a little while

Now a long long time
Before you and I were born
A star lit up and tossed its light
Out into space
Just tonight in our space
A spot of sky’ll start to glow
New star’s arrived and it should be enough
To raise a little hope

Still there’s no reply for
The wind that blows flags so wild
Everyone I know is so tired of this cold
So in the street they stamp and sing
It keeps them warm while everything
They’ve lived for all their lives
Is getting blown away
And as the twilight fades and the TV fills in
For the dark days, you say:
“Courage my love, morning time’ll come
And a new star is shinin’ for us tonight.”

They say four
Generations for your sins
I say three more if you happen to be in the government
That leaves trees
To live out the intervening years
Which might explain the free rein
On eliminating them

Back at my window
The yellow house has turned to gray
Every bird that’s settled there’s
Forgotten what she had to say
But I know, I’ve bene told
Every dog’ll have his day
If tomorrow’s mine I’ll wake up
Hit the street
Say what I have to say
