Star of Bethlehem

歌詞

The Star of Bethlehem shines on the hot velvet night I was walking home, sunburnt and stoned I had clumsily tried to pass some weight off my mind And you know what my words are worth now She'd be gone in the morning, she was just packing her things Her back was turned, saying, "you'll never learn Why my love stays obscured, why I'm feeling so hurt," And I know what your words are worth now Little, next to nothing Cuz I come home to you every night, though I've tried To slip from your side, to the easy silence To dance with the shadow of a life passing by So the hours kept turning, felt the dawn coming on She pushed me then, put it all to the test Did I wrap 'round your dreams, or is it a good time to leave? Well I know what those words are worth now As she drifted away, I didn't expect so much pain I was frantic, spent, clutching the bed I begged her to stay, we sure as shit fell into place So she knows what my words are worth now Little, next to nothing Cuz I come home to you every night, though I've tried To slip from your side, to the easy silence To dance with the shadow of a life passing by Lady I know I've been ready to go For as long as you've known me by name Time slipping past, I keep waiting on chance But convinced that your something I need But it's never a good time, it seems A good time to leave Never a good time to leave
