Where The Stars Don't Shine

from A Decent Man by Michael Weston King

/

lyrics

A mile from my house
I took a wrong turning
The sky it was blue
then the next it was burning
I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine...

From tarmac to gravel,
from gravel to cinders
I burned all my bridges
and broke all my fingers
I can’t believe that some things last forever
I cant believe that I wont walk this way again

I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine...

What’s closest to home
can sometimes surprise you
You look forward so hard
you don’t see what’s beside you
I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine...

12 months in a year,
10 years in decade
That’s how long it took
before I knew I was betrayed
I can’t believe that some things last forever
I cant believe that I wont walk away again

I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine....
Where my son doesn’t lie,
where this girl doesn’t cry
Where the sound of the door
is not the sound of goodbye
Where the ring of the bell
brings a tear to your eye,
Still I’ll walk away again

I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine..

Lost and alone
I staggered in the green woods
Dragging me down,
then pulling me skywards
Up above the clouds I was flying
In no time at all though
I’m back down to earth again

I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine...
I took a ride where the stars they don’t shine...
