Mick Harvey - Little Star Lyrics
You came down like a meteorand stole my heart one frightful nightBurned for but a second and then turned blackA precious rock I can't set backI watched you fall and still in thrallAll in all what you had causedCrumbling embers in the hallAnd you never explained whyYour hair of gold, your skin so fairYour eyes and lips beyond compareA dress of braided gold you wearJewels and flowers here and thereLike stars stuck in the night's clear skyAs far apart as you and IUp above the world so highI catch your whispers now and thenAnd fold them into words againRead between the lines just what you areThe son of many alms and oursThat meteoric flaming skyImprinted deep in my mind's eyeGrows weaker as the years go byI could never explain, but I already knew whyYour hair of gold, your skin so fairYour eyes and lips beyond compareA dress of braided gold you wearJewels and flowers here and thereLike stars stuck in the night's clear skyAs far apart as you and IUp above the world so high
