Lyrics

Star in the Dark

by Kevin A. Welsh and Sonja St. John
From Women at War: Warrior Songs Vol. 2

Hey brother, where you gone,
It’s been too long since you’ve been home.
They called it casualty,
It doesn’t seem casual to me.

This old house has got me reeling.
I hit the floor upon hearing.

(Chorus)
That star in the dark keeps shining on through blue into gold.
Give me something so I know that you can hear me.

Hey, brother, cast away,
I last saw you on Christmas Day.
Swept up the glittered snow.
Pictured desert birds by a rustic road.

This tired flame keeps on burning.
And spinning wheels keep turning.

(Chorus)
And that star in the dark keeps shining on through blue into gold.
Give me something so I know that you can hear me.

(Bridge)
Might be crazy but I’m still waiting For those boots through the door.
Though your name’s set in stone and I know that you’ll be never coming home.

(Chorus)
Still that star in the dark keeps shining on through blue into gold.
Give me something so I know that you can hear me.

Give me something so I know that you can hear me.
