Robert Forster - Falling Star lyrics

Everybody's got to shed a little skin Everybody was naked to begin Towards the end I was just singing through my disguise Towards the end it was you That put that light right back behind my eyes You're from tender, forgotten streets Where there's a thousand and one retreats for me You held me captive just by being who you are I was rested but let me tell you every sun comes out to catch a falling star I had a bad habit Of just letting everything around me slide Whole town went to the fairground Guess who had to pay for everybody's ride Now if I robbed a bank I know where I would hide With my back to the city and you by my side You held me captive just by being who you are I was rested but let me tell you every sun comes out to catch a falling star Falling star, falling star Falling star, falling star Just a falling star, baby, falling star Falling star, just a falling star
