David Crosby - Fare Thee Well lyrics

Fare Thee Well By Emily Saliers (Indigo Girls) Performed by David Crosby (B-side of the "Hero" single) Fare thee well my bright star I watched your taillights blaze into nothingness But you were long gone before I ever got to you Before you blazed past this address And now I think of having loved and having lost But never know what it's like to never love Who can say that's better and my heart's become the cost A mere token of a brighter j**el sent from above Fare thee well my bright star The vanity of youth, the color of your eyes Aand maybe if I'd fanned the blazing fire of your day-to-day Or if I'd been older I'd been wise Too thick the heat of those long summer evenings For a cool evening I began to yearn But you could only feed upon the things which feed a fire Waiting to see if I would burn Fare thee well my bright star It was a brief brilliant miracle dive That which I looked up to and clung to for dear life Had to burn itself up just to prove it was alive And I caught you then in your moment of glory Your last dramatic scene against a night sky stage With a memory so clear it's as if you were still before me My once in a lifetime star of an age Fare thee well my bright star Last night the tongues of fire circled me around And this strange season of pain will come to pa** When the healing hands of autumn cool me down
