FALLEN STAR I lost the man I thought you were.     I loved that man. I loved that man. But you were just convenience with a smile. I squandered my illusion well.     I worshipped you. I worshipped you. I gave you every virtue I admire. (chorus) Who are you to be a god? Who am I to love one?     I see you as you are. A fallen star. A fallen star. Every time you came to me     to meet your need, to meet your need. I conjured up the love that brought you here. Every time you broke my heart     I swept it up. I swept it up and pieced it back together with my tears. (chorus) Who are you to be a god? Who am I to love one?         I see you as you are. A fallen star. A fallen star. When opportunists pose as gods     mortal fools, mortal fools never seem to tell the two apart. I see you in my waking dream.     Pain has its way, it has its way sharpening the edges of a star. (ending) Your blinding light has slipped to earth         beyond the night         where goddesses, goddesses         are ever giving birth.                                 Susan Weber                                 ©2003 Response To the Wind Sweeps through Susan's Music Reynolds (answering Weber) The Star swiftly lifts your whole heart echoing in through the dreamwall, into the morning soulful ache of how love fails love always fails, exhausted, it drowns yards from the life-shore arc of beauty shreds and sheds its own garments and then its own flesh and bones in flight wind sweeps through Susan's music over the expanse of blue ocean we are suddenly swept far into the North gusts over some white frozen plain our faraway familiar place that place in your song that is in your heart, too and i look into your eyes all this Space, endless I understand the courage of it. chrisdog
