THE STARS THAT FELL

THE STARS THAT FELL

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

2018


AS TWILIGHT FADES 
RESIGNED TO DARKENED GLOOM
THE CLOUDS MOVE OVER
MAKING ROOM FOR THE MOON
ANOTHER DAY SPENT AND GONE
AN EVERLASTING SONG
PLAYS SOFTLY IN THE NIGHT
AN ODE JUST TO SUMMER EVE

A LULLABY
SWEET TO SATISFY
A MILLION STARS DRIFT BY
SOMEONE GOT IT ALL RIGHT
A LASTING IMPRESSION
A NIGHT TO TAKE AWAY AND HIDE

HERE ON THE OUTSIDE
THINGS ARE SHAPING, SHIFTING
BREAKING
A REFLECTION PAST BEYOND ME
IN THE SKY
ITS LIGHT RIGHT BESIDE ME

SLEEP UNTIL THE SUNS 
GOLDEN LIGHT
COMES TO FIND ME
SHINES INTO MY EYES
WHERE SHADOWS PLAY
ACROSS THE WALL
LIKE A SUNLIT WATERFALL
 CHORUS
WHAT OF THE STARS THAT FELL
DID YOU FIND THEM ALL
DID YOU MAKE SOME WISHES
YOU CAN TAKE AWAY
SAVE THEM FOR
 TOMORROWS PLANS 
IF NOTHING CHANGES
EVERYTHING IS AS IT STANDS

I'M STILL ASLEEP
INTO THE SKY, HIDDEN DEEP
TO MEET YOU THERE
SEE YOU HERE WITH ME
COVERED IN STARLIGHT
AN EVENING BREEZE
STIRS THE TREES
I CATCH THE FALLOUT
SMELL THE BLOOMS
THAT FILL THE NIGHT
OPEN UP TO MOONLIGHTS BLUSH
PAINTED WITH MY BRUSH

I WAIT EACH NIGHT FOR THIS
FALL HEADLONG
INTO THE STARS
GONE TO SLEEP
HIDDEN DEEP
IN A DIAMOND SKY
