Ghost Star

Across the sky and clear away

Reaching out to hold you

Echoes dead across the bay

I wish I could have told you

And sand it blows into my eyes

As love it tries to blind me

Far beyond horizon's fall

The darkness yet to find me

And on that night and in that way

You wove your magic slowly

The broken boy is healed again

I fall into you wholly

Unforgiving and now all alone

Where's the beauty that you bled?

When you've buried all the pain that you have known

I will carry you to bed

Where's the perfect that you used to know?

Where's the rainbow in your head?

When you've cast all your enemies to stone

Who will carry you to bed?

Take the feelings that I used to know

Keep them with you in my stead

Someday when all the wild horses have been tamed

You will welcome me to bed
