lyrics

(written in inspired moment following night star watching.. scribbled in orange crayon hastily on notebook paper... )

Burning Star-

'the sky is black and creeping.. the stars are sliding like sloths.. in their spots...
the stars don't ask questions.. they burn, burn, until they go out..

I wish I could be a burning star... and blind you with light not doubt...

My tragic stars... don't ask questions..
please please please.. I wish I could be a burning star..
and blind you
and find you
and shine you
with light not doubt..
