Falling Star Lyrics

You're a falling star

On a late night show

At the back of the bar

Where all the late nights go

You're a stand-up girl

But the joke's been told

We've all heard it before

Now it's getting old

And if you never say

Then you'll never know

And if you never stay

Then you'll have nowhere to go

But I remember the wishing well of words

Painting pictures of rainbows and jet-black birds

Lifting up to the sky

I remember the light in your eyes

You're a late-night turn

With a trick or two

For the back-row boys

And all the late-night crew

You're a midnight's dream

On a bed of nails

Running out of steam

Going off the rails

And if you never say

Then you'll never know

And if you never stay

Then you'll have nowhere to go

But I remember the wishing well of words

Painting pictures of rainbows and jet-black birds

Lifting off to the sky

I remember the light in your eyes
