Jon S. Patton - Most Distant Star lyrics

You were the light and the most distant star And a fusion reaction in the engine for your part And I was tired of the dark I was hungry and poor An animal desperate to stay warm Do we rhyme? Are we together? Well, not all the time, but more often than never I put faith in my feet, and a thousand miles to bear There was storm in silence and fire in the air And the August sky was streaked with my grandmother's hair And you were aground in the unknown Somehow we talked despite lightyears between About the prides of lions and the fears of the weak And even in the daytime I could keep you First to the right to get home There was no moment of panic, no injuring words No discord, confusion, or imperfect third And I tried to keep you close But you kept falling away And everything burns away Everything burns away Everything burns away Everything burns away Someday
