Every star is in the sky tonight

EVERY STAR IS IN THE SKY TONIGHT (D G D G A D, capo 2)

I am here again. Sitting like a stool. Hanging out to dry.

Dripping on my head. Short around the ears. Shoulders holding on.

And today I can feel.

The bones under my skin. The blood on the footpath. The damage we have done.

My toes are open wide. My head is somewhere else.

And all these things. I whispered in a dream. Like rain falling by my side.

I felt it in the night. But the day broke my heart. In the backyard I saw.

A shadow on the fence. Two figures running home.

Not looking back. I can see every light turning on. Like sleeping on the lawn.

And every star is in the sky tonight. In the sky tonight.
