Another starry night, I am nowhere bound
The blood of fallen angels runs like rivers through the ground
Out here in the desert where the shadows have no name
I wonder will I ever fall in love again?
The emptiness is endless, like the universe ahead
I’ve long since left the highway and these country roads have lead
Me all the way from home down south to Tennessee
Maybe those bible-belters send a prayer for me.
You were my Northern Star, you were my guiding light
You helped me navigate through perfect storms and darkest nights
You were my Northern Star, you were my midnight sun
Shine on! Shine on!
We learn to compromise, we learn to bend
But most of all we learn that lessons never end.
Life’s a game of chances and we all play our part
And losers they will end up with a broken heart.
And even though with every passing day your legend pales
You’re still my favourite story in my book of fairy tales
And I wonder, do you think of me the way I think of you?
And I can’t help but wonder if you ever knew
You were my Northern Star, you were my guiding light
You helped me navigate through perfect storms and darkest nights
You were my Northern Star, you were my midnight sun
Shine on! Shine on!
Shine on! Shine On!
Another starry night, I am nowhere bound
The blood of fallen angels runs like rivers through the ground
And the only thing I hear in the distance is the crackling sound – of the radio.
