Stars

I'm a deserado
ghost of a shadow
searching for something more
My broken down dream
ain't goin' nowhere
So what am I riding it for?

I've been a gambler
come up empty handed
like everyone else in this town
no chips to cash in
in the city of sin
time that I lay my cards down

Stars stars stars in the sky
how I wonder where it is you've gone
stars stars stars in the night
the darkest hour's right before the dawn

Scary as hell
Lookin' into yourself
when nothing is lookin' back
Where is the boy
where is the joy
when did the sky turn so black?
Can't pay the price for mistakes I've made
ain't it funny how rainbows can get in the way
I'm leaving my suitcase, all that I own
facing the darkness on my way home

Stars stars stars in the sky
how I wonder where it is you've gone
stars stars stars in the night
the darkest hour's right before the dawn

I'll wait for the clouds to move over
when it all gets so clear
maybe the light will come closer
and the truth will draw near
if there's something within me
my soul my soul my soul,
believe

Stars stars stars in the sky
how I wonder where it is you've gone
stars stars stars in the night
the darkest hour's right before the dawn

Stars stars stars in the sky
how I wonder where it is you've gone
stars stars stars in the night
the darkest hour's right before the dawn
