To Tame a Star

from Planet Junkie by Drifting Sun

/

lyrics

A face that steals my thoughts
Walks into the frame
She knows she’s caught my eye
Revelling in the pain

To tame a star, you cannot reach
So far from touch, so far from heat
To tame a star, to catch the fire
Fill the desire

To tame a star, whose light destroys
The gazing eyes across the void
Where beauty shines
Shadows can fool

The angel wears a mask
Behind which guards the gates
Solid still in locked
For everyone that waits

To tame a star, you cannot reach
So far from touch, so far from heat
To tame a star, to catch the fire
Feel the desire

A mirage in the sand
(what you see you’ll never get)
You reach out with your hand
(what you feel you’ll never possess)
Try to hold her tight
(the sting is in the tale)
But never win the fight

You’ll see a daughter, you’ll see a son
Ghosts of gardens here to come
Seasons have change, faces have age
The diary you’ve written
Each life on a page

Your name is in my head
In the books I've read, day after day
Face in sunshine
Filling up my mind, day after day

When the fool sits
The grass grows long
He doesn’t see what lies beneath
Where the ice lies thick
The blood is blue
And the heart of stone
Stands there cold

Beware of the signs, she said
Don’t follow, don’t be led
Inside my mind
The fool he doesn’t hear
Sees sweetness never fears
All in his mind

Let her go to her world
And I’ll go to mine
Both on different courses
Both on different times

A face that steals my thoughts
Walks into the frame
She knows she’s caught my eye
Revelling in the pain

The angel wears a mask
Behind which guards the gates
Solid still in locked
For everyone that waits

A mirage in the sand
You reach out with your hand
Try to hold her tight
But never win the fight

You’ll see a daughter, you’ll see a son
Ghosts of gardens here to come
Seasons have change, faces have age
The diary you’ve written
Each life on a page
