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 soonOh, when will this war be over and the madness leave the air?
This brick that's flown between us and the pulling of the hair
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right nowAnd 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 soonVolunteers 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 soonOh, and I always thought
That you, you wanted me
Oh, and I always thought somehow
That you, you wanted meOh, but if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
'Cause beyond the pale lies evening
And the shadow of the plowAnd 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 soonAnd the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
