splintered moons are always moving over my night skies
and shooting stars always are greeted with a surprise
sunsets, in autumn, always fall with the leaves that let go
and someday you will eventually know
that everything happens for an unknown reason
shadows stretch as each night dims to a darker gray
and stars wink in a direction that's a thousand years away
as clouds move through and cry frozen tears of snow
and someday you will eventually know
that love also has a calendar of changing seasons
each day the night betrays the sun at a different time
and the stars twinkle their lights to a rhythmless chime
but in the darkest days of winter there's no sun left to glow
and someday you will eventually know
that all cycles seem to have an act of treason
I was drinking beer with a tear in my eye,
The night I learned about Lady Di.
I’m one of those Americans who despise royalty;
But something about Diana struck a chord in me.
Perhaps I even had a crush on her
And still just saw her as Diana Spencer;
Even though she lived in a fairy tale,
Married to an ogre, the Prince of Wales.
Her inside was matched by her outer beauty;
Devoting hours of time to charity.
She had an iconic presence on the world stage,
Conspiracy death theories caused a media rage.
But I always just saw her as a young girl,
Caught up in a political swirl;
A pawn played with little regard to her soul,
Robbed of a chance to someday grow old.
I was drinking beer with a tear in my eye,
The night I learned about Lady Di.
Not sure why it struck me so hard,
While sitting alone in a Hoboken bar.
