Harry Chapin tune





SHOOTING STAR



He was crazy, of course

>From the first she must have known it

But still she went on with him

And she never once had shown

And she took him off the street

And she dried his tears of grieving

She listened to his visions

She believed in his believing



Chorus:

He was the sun burning bright and brittle

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

He was a shooting star

She was softer and more slowly

He could not make things possible

But she could make them holy

Holy



He was dancing to some music

No one else had ever heard

He'd speak in unknown languages

And she would translate every word

And when the world was laughing

At his castles in the sky

She held him in her body

Until he once again could fly

Oh and...



Chorus



He took off east one morning

Towards the rising sun's red glow

She knew he was going nowhere

But of course she let him go

And as she stood and watched him dwindle

Much too empty to be sad

He reappeared beside her

Saying "You're all I've ever had"

Oh and...



Chorus
