And the light of a fading star
is what you were, is what you are
like the glow that christens the moon
you shone too soon, you shone too soon
Oh when will this war be over?
and the madness leaves the air
this brick that's found between us
and the pulling of the hair
But if there's a reason
i don't need to know right now
And the light of a fading star
is what you were, is what you are
like the glow that christens the moon
you shone too soon, you shone too soon
Volunteers are soon forgotten
and many more of us shall die
the sick still feed the hungry
and the last battle song has cried
But if there's a reason
i don't need to know right now
And the light of a fading star
is what you were, is what you are
like the glow that christens the moon
you shone too soon, you shone too soon
Oh and i always thought
that you, you wanted me
oh and i always thought some how
that you, you wanted me
Ahhh, but if there's a reason
i don't need to know right now
'cause beyond the pale eyes' evening
and the shadow of the cloud
And the light of a fading star
is what you were, is what you are
like the glow that christens the moon
you shone too soon, you shone too soon
And the light of a fading star
is what you were, is what you are
like the glow that christens the moon
you shone too soon, you shone too soon
And the light of a fading star
is what you were, is what you are
