Patterson Hood - Come Back, Little Star lyrics

Hood-Hogan Heaven blue eyes Those long black lashes Razor tongue and southern drawl Pouring out like mola**es A trail of silver mercury To show us all what you've seen You always had a drink in your hand But your liver ain't what it used to be I'm not really mad Mean I'm trying hard to understand We both had these dreams too long To let them slip through your hands I've got a drink or two myself to control the sting This town got blown to tatters When you traded in your wheels for wings Baby don't go! Come back little star and take me with you in the night Exploding in the sky Casting shadows in the light Baby don't go, take me with you All these journeys and plans we could share Or will the dreams we made together leave me lying lonely here Lying lonely here, broken shutters flapping in the rain Wind's crying lonesome breeze, Oak trees snapping from the strain I just wanna stay In that better time and place Chasing bugs in your granny's yard Before you disappeared into time and space
