Patterson Hood – Come Back Little Star lyrics

Heaven blue eyes
Those long black lashes
Raise your tongue and sell and draw

Pouring down like the glasses
A trail of silver mercury
To show us all what you've
You always had a drink in your hand
But your liver ain't what it used to be

I'm not really mad
Mean I'm trying hard to understand
We both have these dreams too long
To let them slip through your hands
I've got a drink or two myself to control the sting
Standard...
When you traded in your wheels for wings

Baby don't go!
Come back little star and take me with you in the night
Exploring in the sky
Casting shadows in the light
Baby don't go, take me with you
All these journeys and plans we could share
Or will the dreams we made together leave me lying over here
Lying lonely here, broken shutters flapping in the rain

Wind's crying lonesome breeze,
Oak trees snapping from the strain
I just wanna stay
In that better time or place
Chasing bugs in your granny's yard
Before you disawpeared into time and space

Baby don't go!
Come back little star and take me with you in the night
Watching everyone we know moving slow together
As their dreams take flight
Baby don't go!
Take me with you
We could chase down the sunrise or disappear
Make some wishes come together
I could wish to have you here
Wish to have you here
Wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
So baby don't go
Come back little star
Oh baby don't go
Come back little star
Come back little star
Come back little star
