| Lyrics |
fare thee well my bright stari watched your taillights blaze into nothingnessbut you were long gone before I ever got to youbefore you blazed past this addressand now I think of having loved and having lostbut never know what it feels like to never lovewho can say what's better when my heart's become the costa mere token of a brighter jewel sent from abovefare thee well my bright starthe vanity of youth the color of your eyesand maybe if i'd fanned the blazing fire of your day-to-dayor if i'd been older i'd been wisetoo thick the heat of those long summer eveningsfor a cool evening i began to yearnbut you could only feed upon the things which feed a firewaiting to see if i would burnfare thee well my bright starit was a brief brilliant miracle divethat which i looked up to and i clung to for dear lifehad to burn itself up just to make itself aliveand i caught you then in your moment of gloryyour last dramatic scene against a night sky stagewith a moment so clear that it's as if you're still before memy once in a lifetime star of an ageso fare thee well my bright starlast night the tongues of fire circled me aroundand this strange season of pain will come to passwhen the healing hands of autumn cool me downwords and music emily salierscopyright 1994 bmi virgin music inc and godhap music (bmi)
