Pat Benatar - Shooting Star Lyrics
Description: man loves woman. man marries woman. man and woman have children. man leaves woman in search of self. man realizes how important woman is and returns.He was crazy of courseFrom the first she must have known itBut still she went on with himAnd she never once had shown itAnd she took him off the streetsAnd she dried his tears of grievingShe listened to his visionsShe believed in his believinAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittleAnd she was the moon shining back his light a littleHe was a shooting starShe was softer and more slowlyHe could not make things possibleBut, she could make them holy, holy...He was dancin to some musicNo one else had ever heardHed speak in unknown languagesShed translate every wordAnd when the world was laughingAt his castles in the skyShed hold him in her bodyAnd he once again would flyAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittleAnd she was the moon shining back his light a littleHe was a shooting starShe was softer and more slowlyHe could not make things possibleBut, she could make them holy, holy...But she gave him a daughterAnd she gave him a sonShe was a mother, and a wife,And a lover when the day was doneWell, he was too far gone for giving loveWhat hed offer in its steadWas the knowledge she was the only thingThat was not in his headHe took off east one morningIn the rising suns red glowShe knew he was going nowhereBut of course she let him goAs she stood and watched him dwindleMuch too empty to be sadHe reappeared beside her and said,Youre all Ive ever hadAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittleAnd she was the moon shining back his light a littleHe was a shooting starShe was softer and more slowlyHe could not make things possibleBut, she could make them holyAh, he was the sun burning bright and brittleAnd she was the moon shining back his light a littleHe was a shooting starShe was softer and more slowlyHe could not make things possibleBut, she could make them holyHoly...From the album harry chapin tribute (1990)Written by: harry chapin
