Lonestar

(album: On Arrival - 1990)

Lonestar is fading into the shadows
Standing there waiting for something to say
But she's so impatient she might not see him
The chance of a lifetime could be slipping away

Standing alone, he wears his freedom
He's seen it before, the sun going down in her eyes
His heart is his own, a lonely companion
As true as the wind and the deep purple sky

Now lonestar is grieving, but she doesn't notice
She's laughing and dancing with some Romeo
But out of the bright lights there's one lonely cowboy
With nothing to hold him, and nowhere to go

Standing alone, he wears his freedom
He's seen it before, the sun going down in her eyes
His heart is his own, a lonely companion
As true as the wind and the deep purple sky

Now lonestar is fading into the shadows
