Lyrics

Starlight



Walk along a street with bright lights flickering

and voices float from empty halls

groups of two are passing, arm in arm they’re passing

and I’m just one, that’s all



Sometimes the blues’ll take you where you should not go

where a woman holds a promise in her charms

you reach for someone just to have any someone

and spend a lonely night in her arms



Just because there’s that starlight

Just because it’s another sleepless night

Just because she’s gone from sight

That’s no reason not to be alone tonight



It’s toast and coffee in a silent room

and a mirror staring at my eyes

If I had someone just to have any someone

would it be enough to hear her sighs



So I walk on out into another night

watch the people fill up the square

it’s just like numbers, you can count the numbers

there’s no reason I should care
