Stars


Stars

Stars in the skies, but I can’t reach that high

I’m drunk for the hell of it

 

I’d miss you when you’re gone

But you’ve been gone so long

And I’m mad for the hell of it

 

It’s a dark dark night

Long ago dreams fight for their lives,

And they’re losing their ground

But still I manage to turn my frown upside down

 

This light in me that nobody can

See

Please good lord, do not leave

Me

Pick my head up off this cold hard ground

 

Stars in my eyes, but they’re going out

I’m High for the Sake of it

 

I’d love you no matter who you are

But you’ve loved me for so little too long

And I’m sad for the loss of it

 

It’s a bright bright morning

And the sun hurts these fragile eyes

And they’re losing their strength to even survive

But I still manage to turn my frown upside down

 

This light in me that everyone can

See

Thank you Good Lord for not leaving

Me

And Picking my head up off this cold hard ground
