Stars

Dm A# F A Dm Back then it almost felt, A# Heaven sent F With slow dancing models A In a child's ornament Dm A# Kept spinning our heads full of stars F Don't know what we had A But we knew it was ours Dm A# With one hand on the small of her back F A The other in hers, as we moved to the track Dm A# That was playing in our heads all along F A The symphony silent, a beautiful song A# F We were lovers, we were doomed from the start A Dm It was all broken clockwork, the dancers both fall apart A# A Dm Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up A# F A Dm A# F A Dm A# The girl sits alone with her art F Seems her words are the only way A To mend her broken heart Dm A# Like her life is the fiction not found F A Her real image in writing is staring straight back Dm A# Her protagonist has broken hope F A The typewriter pause, then the words come out slowly Dm A# Like teardrops, fall on the page F A In an instant her soul, released from its cage She wrote A# You were laying there dying, F Like the end of a western A Dm Saying tell me what Europe is like A# A Dm I said tell me yourself, we can go when you feel right A# F A Dm A# F A Dm A# At the coast, every star seems so near F A But you wouldn't know each, had been gone all those years Dm A# And the ocean rose on like a dream F A And into the distance, forever it seems Dm
