Light of a Fading Star

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon

You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Oh when will this war be over?

And the madness leaves the air

This brick that's found between us

And the pulling of the hair

But if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon

You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Volunteers are soon forgotten

And many more of us shall die

The sick still feed the hungry

And the last battle song has cried

But if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon

You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Oh and I always thought

That you, you wanted me

Oh and I always thought some how

That you, you wanted me

Ahhh, but if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

'Cause beyond the pale eyes' evening

And the shadow of the cloud

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon

You shone too soon, you shone too soon

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon

You shone too soon, you shone too soon

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are
