A Lonely Star
Here I sit
Here I watch
Naming stars as they go by
That one’s blue
That one’s red
And they listen to me cry
Let me know
Let me show
That I can rise once more
They don’t care
They don’t share
In the part of me that tore
So here I sit
So here I watch
Waiting for the desperate plea
Cause I know
Cause they know
That I’ll wait eternally
So I wait
So I cry
Sitting here and listening
To my song
To my hope
While the stars are glistening
Why, oh why can’t I just be
Oh why can’t I just see
Despite how hard I try
All I can do is cry
Never again shall I be free
Don’t use pity, run ‘way from me
Here I sat
Here I watched
Named the stars as they went by
One was blue
One was red
And they listened to me cry
And they knowed
And they showed
That I’ll never rise once more
Didn’t care
Didn’t share
And more of my heart tore
So there I sat
So there I watched
Waited for the desperate plea
Cause I knew
Cause they knew
That I waited eternally
So I waited
So I cried
Sat there to yet listen
To my song
To my hope
But they refused to glisten
Why, oh why can’t I just be
Oh why can’t I just see
Despite how hard I try
All I can do is cry
Never again shall I be free
Don’t use pity, run ‘way from me
Here I stay
Here I die
‘Membering stars when they went by
Now they’re dark
As is my hope
No one listens to me cry
I don’t know
How to show
How weak I am without you
You didn’t care
I don’t share
In the joy with which you slew
So here I lie
So here I fade
As I repeat the desperate plea
But I know
But you know
That nev’r ‘gain shall I see
So I groan
So I moan
Dying here not listening
To your song
To your hope
While the traitor’s glistening
Why, oh why couldn’t I be
Oh why couldn’t I see
Despite how hard I tried
All I did was cried
Now I can see too clearly
The problem was you, and was not me
Here I sit
Here I watch
Naming stars as they go by
That one’s yellow
That one’s white
And I listen to them cry
Let them know
Let them show
That they can rise once more
I do care
I do share
In the part of them that tore
So here I sit
So here I watch
Answering the desperate plea
Cause I know
Cause they know
That I’ll help eternally
So I don’t wait
So I don’t cry
Sitting here and listening
To their song
To their hope
While my love is glistening
Now, oh now I, yes!, can be
Oh now I can truly see
Freedom me did try
But no longer will I cry
Forever and ever am I free
I use pity, so run to me
Here I sit
Here I watch
Naming you as you go by
You are yellow
You are white
And I listen to you cry
Let you know
Let you show
That you can rise once more
I do care
I do share
In the part of you that tore
So here I sit
So here I watch
Listening to your desperate plea
Cause I know
Cause you know
That I’ll help eternally
So I don’t wait
So I don’t cry
Sitting here and listening
To your song
To your hope
While your tears are glistening
Now, oh now I, yes!, can be
Oh now I can truly see
Freedom me did try
But no longer will I cry
Forever and ever am I free
I use pity, so run to me
Here you stay
Here you die
‘Membering me when I went by
Now I’m dark
As is your hope
Yet I listen to you cry
You don’t know
How to show
How weak without me are you
You didn’t care
I don’t share
In the joy with which you slew
So here you lie
So here you fade
As you repeat the desperate plea
But I know
But you know
That nev’r ‘gain shall you see
So you groan
So you moan
Dying here but listening
To my song
To your hope
While my love is glistening
Now, oh now I, yes!, we be
Oh now we truly see
Freedom us did try
But no longer will we cry
Forever and ever are we free
I use pity, so run to me
