Small star
How you've come to grow such stellar arms
So far away
Or just an earthly ghost of yesterday
So, so afraid
Lights can lengthen shadows by the yard
This is hard
To let a halo dim itself and go
Beyond Orion's arm
So far away
Or just too close to what was yesterday?
Hold the matter in
And bars may form across those stellar arms
For just a star
Pulsars
Buckle from the weight of heavy hearts
Words - worlds away
Your halo's sending missives anyway
So, you're so removed
No constellation scatters by a sound
They're still around
For every standard candle has a fit-ful luminary heart
For just a star...
For just a star...
For just a star...
Small star
How you've come to grow such stellar arms
So far away
Or just an earthly ghost of yesterday
So, so afraid
Lights can lengthen shadows by the yard
This is hard
To let a halo dim itself and go
Beyond Orion's arm
