Lonesome Star (2005 Expanded Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Magnum II - 1979)

Now the piper stands alone
Waiting for a sign that will be given
As they close the gates of dawn
Hiding from the dark, they will be driven

As I stand before you now
Saying things I dream about
You wonder how I've seen
All the things that you have missed out

The question will arise
How they can survive but they will shiver
And they look with anxious eyes
Melting like the snow into a river

Now all this will come to pass
The promise has broken all
Your fathers of ages past
Now they only wait for the call

Lonesome star
Mother earth
Lonesome star
Is it worth?

Did you ask her how old you are?
To wonder if you've come far

Lonesome star
Lonesome star
Lonesome star
Lonesome star
Mother earth
Lonesome star
Mother earth
Lonesome star
Lonesome star
Lonesome star
