Lyrics
A Light Of A Fading Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
An when will this war be over?
And the madness leave the air
This brick that's flown between us
And the pulling of the hair
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
Volunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
That sick still feed the hungry
And the last battle song has cried
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
And I always thought
That you, you wanted me
And I always thought somehow
That you, you wanted me
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
Cause beyond the pale lies evening
And the shadow of the plough
