Star Called Sun

Near a star called Sun

It was there that my mom came undone

Sounds of a summer parade

90.5 in the shade

She drifted off on the 4th of July

A holiday look in her eyes

Said goodbye to a lifetime of pain

She died in a mid-summer rain

She said

There’s one million stars

For every little grain of sand down there

She floated up like a rocket in space

The misery gone from her face

Flying through comets and stars

Out past the canyons on Mars

She saw the future and she saw the past

She said, don’t worry, it’s not meant to last

Everything’s always OK

Even the worst of your days

There’s one million stars…

So now she’s there when I look at the sky

Or when I drink whisky or wine

Or when I feel frightened at night

Or days when I’m sick of my life

She says, son it’ll all be alright

Everything’s already fine

If only you knew what I’ve seen

You’d never feel frightened again

There’s one million stars…
