lyrics

THE BEGINNING OF THE SLOW, SLOW STARS . when words fail . when they just won't work .


* like high heaven shot with stars you beamed some bright light for me - now it appears as if you've been dying all along - no/no/no - that treasure radiant - that power, a night full with riches rare - now it appears it was fools gold, hollow all along - no/no/no.
* & I slowly begin without you - & you'll begin yr slow farewell - no .
* those wild imaginings - a flower of beckoning emptiness there - ties with the lie of harsh beguiler of cares - no/no/no - now I've a dying place somewhere - a pit of yr memory - cried out of all that I can't believe was ever there - no/no/no.
* & I'll slowly begin without you - & you'll begin yr slow farewell - no .
