Stardust in the Leaves
John Taylor
- Wish I was young as your desire
- Could spark the flame that you most seek.
- Images floating in the fire
- Can't warm your heart
- Or change the way you need.
-
- I'll be your beauty, or another
- As you are mine, through spells you cast.
- Tonight you told them all I was your lover
- But the gem was only paste, not made to last.
-
- I'm drinking from the
- Fountain of youth - with wrinkled hands.
- Counting up all the grains of sand.
- Wishing upon a star so far that I can't see,
- Wishing all your dreams were found in me,
- Searching for stardust in the leaves.
-
- No one can say what comes the morrow,
- But it's the lack that harries me.
- So great the distance, small the sorrows
- Twenty years early on the tree.
-
- It's not regret I bring before you
- Just songs I know cannot be sung.
- We're far to precious for those blue hues -
- Everyone wants what can't be won.
-
- I'm drinking from the
- Fountain of youth - with wrinkled hands.
- Counting up all the grains of sand.
- Wishing upon a star so far that I can't see,
- Wishing all your dreams were found in me,
- Searching for stardust in the leaves.
-
- Wishing upon a star so far that I can't see,
- Wishing all your dreams were found in me,
- Searching for stardust in the leaves.
