From the recording People On The Porch & Other Sparkling Folk
This organic, tribal/celtic drum ballad is a new original that sings deeply, like songs of old, to drum and powerful emotion.
The storyteller/singer tells a lyric tale of love, frozen in time because a wish was made and hope kept the wisher from seeing what was there the whole time,
Wishes should never blind one to what is real and in the moment!
Featuring Deb Anderson, (host of "The Wimmin's Show" on KZUM, Lincoln, NE.) on percussion.
Recorded at Fuse Studios, Lincoln, NE.
Lyrics
On a night
when the sky was alive with dreams
that burned so bright for me
that I dared to make a wish
on the tail of a star.
My heart was young and alive with love
for a man that I wanted more
so I dared to make it real
on the tail of a star.
And the wheel in sky turned 'round
as the passing of time stood still
for a moment to hear a wish
on the wind
on the wind.
He was mine
for only a flash in the night
now ever I look to the sky
for the sign of his return
on the tail of a star
And the wheel in sky turned 'round
as the passing of time stood still
for a moment to hear a wish
on the wind
on the wind.
What I lost
while I looked to the sky was time
for in front of my eye was love
shining next to me bright as a star
could have wished
could have wished
Had to lose my delusions to find my heart
lose my delusions to find my heart
had to lose my delusions to find my heart
Lost on the tail
of a star.
