The Stars

                Dm
Back then it almost felt
        A#
Heaven sent
       Gm
With slow dancing models
        Am
In a childs ornament
        Dm                        A#
Kept spinning our heads full of stars
       Gm
Dont know what we had
        Am
But we knew it was ours
           Dm                     A#
With one hand on the small of her back
       Gm                  Am
The other in hers, as we moved to the track
             Dm                     A#
That was playing in our heads all along
         Gm              Am
The symphony silent, a beautiful song
           Dm                             A#
We were lovers, we were doomed from the start
         Gm                       Am
It was all broken clockwork, the dancers both fall apart
          Dm              A#
Maybe it was a dream, and I just woke up
     Dm                      A#
The girl sits alone with her art
   Gm
Seems her words are the only way
     Am
To mend her broken heart
          Dm                      A#
Like her life is the fiction not found
           Gm                  Am
Her real image in writing is staring straight back
         Dm                  A#
Her protagonist has broken hope
        Gm                        Am
The typewriter pause, then the words come out slowly
         Dm                   A#
Like teardrops, fall on the page
         Gm                Am
In an instant her soul, released from its cage

She wrote
           Dm
You were laying there dying
          A#
Like the end of a western
        Gm                     Am
Saying tell me what europe is like
        Dm                       A#
I said tell me yourself, we can go when you feel right
        Dm                          A#
At the coast, every star seems so near
           Gm                         Am
But you wouldn't know each, had been gone all those years
          Dm                   A#
And the ocean rose on like a dream
      Gm                  Am
And into the distance, forever it seems
