lyrics

DARK STARS

I looked into your eyes
For the last time
This story half written
Never to be read

And as I closed the book
My fingers burned
With black soot
As this song it slowly bled

And the dark stars in your eyes
Circled my heart
With their beautiful lies
That kept me coming back to you

And as the sun went down
We smoked a wooden cigarette
You blew rings
Like the hoops you led me through

Though your kisses were sweet
I said good bye, I said good bye
Cause the way you played this game
Was running me dry, running me dry

This was supposed to be a love song
But now the words I guess you’ll never know
Cause we were running in circles
The only way to save us was to let go

You felt like coming home
To a place I had forgotten
Made of sweet songs
And your hands upon my head

But there was no moon that shone
The doors were locked
Secrets unspoken
Of ghosts that still lingered in your bed

Though your kisses were sweet
I said good bye, I said good bye
Cause the way you played this game
Was running me dry, running me dry

This was supposed to be a love song
But now the words I guess you’ll never know
Cause we were running in circles
The only way to save us was to let go

And if we meet again
I’ll roll up all your kisses in a cigarette
And blow smoke rings at the moon
