lyrics

STARLESS NIGHTS
( Misha Bower)
I never wanted anymore
Than anyone who came before
Yeah life was good and fine and time was empty
Till a letter by mistake one day
From a shiny town not far away
Came signed with love and lipstick and perfume
It said I know the lonesome glow
Of country moons and slow rising
suns that make our dreaming longer
It said I never see the stars
And all the wishing in my heart
Has gone away except the one for you..
My love…

I always liked my company
And in loneliness felt truly free
Of other people’s gazes in the mirror
Till a story came into my head
Of another life I could’ve led
That put a chase for change inside my heart
I left behind the lonesome glow
Of country moons and slow rising
suns that make our dreaming longer
And now I never see the stars
And all the wishing in my heart
Has gone away except the one for you...
My love...
Big city lights and starless nights
And the shadow of another love
Big city lights and starless nights
Led me there and led me on
