	Lyrics Tonight I Saw the Star I Named for You It is wonderfully dark out here The lights set half a mile apart are even now behind And it seems the sky now draws near Perhaps in proportion to the growing distance from said city lights Or maybe quietly it draws close With the closing of the night And now the stars are even closing in Though a little dimmed (perhaps obscured?) by smoke They are burning weeds again And though my eyes are made watery by airborne irritants And my feet are sore (my soles are stiff, I think) I see her clearly begin her nightly dance "Tonight I saw the star I named for you" I find myself thinking as I almost stop to get a better look And watching still, I saw a story that I knew For moments later, only moments before I turned my eyes away A fragment of ice or rock (I am not sure) stubbed himself upon the sky His attempt to touch your star in vain And "this is me" I thought "The sky, I think, is tonight a mirror for me to see" And in that moment a truth is caught For I am that falling star, stubbing my heart on memories of you And following every time this grand and blazing arch My desperate attempt to touch your star yet failing whatever I may do
