Graveyard Star Songtext
von Mostly Autumn

Empty streets, quiet night
Who would notice one less light?
Goodbye sun from another sun

Battles lost, battles won
You got old, and that′s okay
Goodbye sun from another sun

Constellations changing shape
Sight lines digging in your grave
Headstone splashed with supernova
A million colors carve your name

Deep space echoes chime the cries
Of long-lost travelers in time
Seeking solid ground
Among the diamond dust above our sky

Graveyard star

How the mighty fall
The thunder here beyond imagination
Cracks this violent sea
A tribute to mortality


Graveyard star

I was the lamp beside your bed
I was the diamond in your head
I am the fairy tale you told
I was the one to guide you home

Above the rooftops in your sky
I was the light that had to die
Just a mighty fallen angel
A spark in heaven's crowd

Wingless angel flashes by
Tips his hat, I hear her cry
Goodbye sun from another sun

Fortune on his tail
He leaves behind such mystery
Where it all began
And where to follow after then?

I was the lamp beside your bed
I was the diamond in your head
I am the fairy tale you told
I was the one to guide you home


Above the rooftops in your sky
I was the light that had to die
Just a mighty fallen angel
A spark in heaven′s crowd

Maybe you shone
Down through a sky where the children played
Maybe you shone
Gold on the wild golden horses that stretched in the hills
So much time
So long ago

Maybe they sang
Tales of the sunlight that kissed on the wild open oceans
Maybe they told
Stories of lost generations that worshiped the dawn
So much time
So long ago

The father had children
He told them they had to go

I was the lamp beside your bed
I was the diamond in your head
I am the fairy tale you told
I was the one to guide you home

Above the rooftops in your sky
I was the light that had to die
Just a mighty fallen angel
A spark in heaven's crowd

I was the lamp beside your bed
I was the diamond in your head
I am the fairy tale you told
I was the one to guide you home

Above the rooftops in your sky
I was the light that had to die
Just a mighty fallen angel
A spark in heaven's crowd
