Herndon - Unicorn Girl (Stars & Hearts) lyrics

Unicorn Girl (Stars & Hearts) When we were young & starlight filled our eyes We prayed on that distant constellation Not knowing then that the scattered suns Had burned away a million years before And there was no star to wish upon But black and aching void And now that age has caught us off our guard Such distant revolutions slip our mind The music of our spheres is now local & confined The turning of humble months and years But I was lying to you all the time I never cared about the stars I cannot tell if your eyes were fixed on darkness Or if they were always fixed on light No I never did believe in constellations You watched the stars for hope but I watched you Heavenly bodies do not sit still or last for long And I know there is no heaven in this man But a fool full of black and aching void Will try to hold and kiss them while he can When we were young & starlight filled our eyes We prayed on that distant constellation Not knowing then that the scattered suns Had burned away a million years before (c)&(p)2011 Allen Herndon (BMI)
