Falling Star - Elkie Brooks

Sitting behind the wheel of that racing machine

Boy, you sure do look mean

Boy, you sure do look neat

But I know just where you’re going when that red light turns green

A hundred miles an hour down a dead end street

A brilliant flash of light then darkness

A brilliant flash of light and then you’re gone

Falling star, I know you

I know what you’re about

Falling star, shine brightly

End the night

You light up all our faces with your bright silver tongue

All those songs that you’ve sung

They still ring in my ear

But you’re just like all those others, you live fast and die young

You’ll sparkle for a moment then you’ll disappear

A brilliant flash of light then darkness

A brilliant flash of light and then you’re gone

Falling star, I know you

I know what you’re about

Falling star, shine brightly

End the night

Why do I always end up with a tear in my eye

Always pick the same guy

Always end up alone

My heart is as empty as that big black hole in the sky

That empty place in heaven where my star once shone

A brilliant flash of light then darkness

A brilliant flash of light and then you’re gone

Falling star, I know you

I know what you’re about

Falling star, shine brightly

End the night

Falling star, I know you

I know what you’re about

Falling star, shine brightly

End the night
