Lonesome Star

Now the piper stands alone
Waiting for a sign that will be given
As they close the gates of dawn
Hiding from the dark, they will be driven
As I stand before you now
Saying things I dream about
You wonder how I've seen all the things
That you have missed out
The question will arise
How they can survive but they will shiver
And they look with anxious eyes
Melting like the snow into a river
Now all this will come to pass
The promise has broken all
Your fathers of ages past
Now they only wait for the call
Lonesome star, mother earth
Lonesome star, is it worth?
Did you ask her how old you are?
To wonder if you've come far
Lonesome star
Lonesome star
Lonesome star
