Starlight Songtext

von Jonathan Byrd

He held a toothpick ‘tween his teeth, a mischievous carpenter.
She boarded the train and gave him a kiss, a tentative wanderer.
Star light, star bright, you're the only star I've got tonight. Starlight.

He stroked her hair and showed her the dough, no more than bargainer.
She followed him back to the sleeping car, oh, Saint Christopher.
Star light, star bright, you're the only star I've got tonight. Starlight.

That'll get you all the way to Thunder Bay. Wait outside the Finlandia.
I know a man who'll give you a room. You don't have to work for him.
Star light, star bright, you're the only star I've got tonight. Starlight.

Train kept a-chuggin on through St. Paul, her face in the window,
Drinking black coffee and cutting her hair on the white linoleum.
Star light, star bright, you're the only star I've got tonight. Starlight
