SHOOTING STAR - Harry Chapin
covered by Pat Benatar
from the "Harry Chapin Tribute" album
[tab]
he was crazy, of course[/tab]
[tab]
from the first she must have known it[/tab]
[tab]
but she ***** went on with him[/tab]
[tab]
and never once had shown it[/tab]
[tab]
she took him off the streets[/tab]
[tab]
and she dried his tears of grieving[/tab]
[tab]
***************************[/tab]
[tab]
she believed in his believing[/tab]
[tab]
oh he was the sun burning bright and brittle and[/tab]
[tab]
she was the moon shining back his light a little[/tab]
[tab]
he was a shooting star, she was softer and more slowly[/tab]
[tab]
he could not make things possible[/tab]
[tab]
but she could make them holy - holy[/tab]
[tab]
well she gave him a daughter and she gave him a son[/tab]
[tab]
she was a mother and a wife, and a lover when the day was done[/tab]
[tab]
when he was too far gone for giving love[/tab]
[tab]
what he offered her instead[/tab]
[tab]
was the knowledge she was the only thing[/tab]
[tab]
that was not in his head[/tab]
