Lyrics
Star Dusting
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.
toward the end of our first year in las vegas
you looked up from your little corner
and i saw that your face was getting a little brighter
and you asked me is it really getting warmer
or is it just me
and then you started mumbling unintelligibly
so what are you saying anyway?
i thought i heard bells ringing
but then i remembered that i no longer knew what bells sounded like
i thought maybe we'd strike up a conversation
'till bad luck cruised by on his ten-speed bike
i got real cold
and i grabbed my coat
and i saw that the ringing was coming from your throat
what are you saying anyway?
