Black Stars

I saw you tonight by the light

Of the shining black stars that circle my heart

I saw you come in, though it was dim

I have been listening from the beginning

When you arrived, it was as if we had both died

And gone somewhere else, you and myself

That otherworldly feeling came over me, stealing

My mind was reeling, blood bleeding

Red like my guitar, whoever you are

Cold in the night, I think you're right

To whisper and listen like flowers glisten in a quiet garden

The moon is wizened and it is old as a toad in a Chinese story

The fallen glory of my ego is laid at the feet of all our purposes

And my purpose is to keep on dreaming

I am fishing for wishes, that's where you come in

Though it was dim, when you arrived, it was as if we had both died

And gone somewhere else, you and myself
