Dying Star

The stars will fade again this morning They died a million years ago As if to give a little warning... you've lost your way back home You left me here without a fire as if desire has turned to stone When stars come out to light the evening they're ghosts of stars, that leave without a song The moon, ..was drifting,.... watching for the sunrise, while waiting for the light of dawn While I was watching at the window..... however, knowing ... ....you wouldn't come While, there are dreams that last forever.... some dreams will simply fade away, And treasured times that we remember we must surrender in the light of day ..............interlude music................. I've watched the sun unlatch the gate to morning I hesitate to leave the window's ledge Your pillow lies untouched beside the bed The stars up in the sky... have long been dead One star is telling me it is morning It seems the others simply strayed Some things we want to last forever are illusions we have cherished, but will often fade away will often fade away........ as if they're made to stray away....... _________________________________________________ 9/6/14 For Craig's Contest: Written for the music by Kevin Kern "I Love You" www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAbytYD5KHw
