SIDE A

LET HER SHINE

There’s a fading star, light years high
Beaming over my old street
There’s a fading star, a satellite
Drifting beyond what I see

So I let her shine
And I let her die
Across the years
I won’t try to fly

There’s familiar ground beneath my feet
Where our days took place
Time is greedy and hard to please
I learned to lose with grace
I closed my box of memories
And let it be

So I let her shine
A little less bright
Dim and faded
But never quite dead
For who am I
To stand in the way of light
From my knees to my feet
I surrender and release
And let her shine

I turn away from my star, turn my back

And let her shine
For who am I
To stand in the way of light
From my knees to my feet
I surrender and release
And let her shine
