Even The Stars Are Cold Tonight
EVEN THE STARS ARE COLD TONIGHT
Even the stars are cold tonight
Little bits of light in the distance
What can they mean?
Once they were bright hopes for other homes
Now they are hells of
Heat and cold and darkness and death-
Why couldn’t our eyes be the only truth
And why do we know so much
Which always hurts us?

Tonight & Forever
(simon/schwatrz)
Ive waited years
For you tonight
My faith in love has been my guiding light
I heard you voice
I read your heart
I fell in love with you though we were miles apart
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever I am yours
O sister make
My wedding bed
Tie a bunch of wild thorn branches
At the head
And scatter roses on the floor
Three bright stars shining at our door
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours
And a song on the wind
Rising from the sea
A fire so cold
A flame so new
No, I could never ask for more than you
The moon is high
The tide is in
Now the night is ours
Let the dance begin
Tonight and forever
Tonight and forever, I am yours

Stars In The Night
Look, look at the stars
How brilliant they are
How can they be shining now?
When hope is so far
Look, look how they shine
These cruelest of stars
What fire inspires them,
What faith is it fires them?
Darkness grows,the world turns cold
And still, there glows the light
Heaven knows what hope they hold tonight
Look,look how they shine
These stars in the night
The darker the night becomes
The brighter their light becomes
Chill winds wail
The tempest blues
and clouds asail the sky
Through the veil,
The stars refuse to die
In this world of darkest night
Where hope is hurled away
There they are
And still, there's light
Oh,so far, but will they
There they lift our hearts
As we lift our eyes
Are we fools to see
The harmony that fills the sky
Look,there's the light
Stars In The Night

Practicing Loneliness
it is the i in we
that has attached like epoxy,
indistinguishable like
pinch of salt to water
sugar to milk and
xanor to beer
tonight i will be alone
sitting on a chair facing the outline of the hills
light fading out
until what i see is only the flickering stars
above a sea of darkness
i will feel the chill of the cold night
a silk of mist hovering over my skin
it is the i, away from you and the we dissolving finally
decanting the i,
purifying the i in me
soon, i must learn this trick
of being one with me
in the darkness, in the cold,
i keep myself warm.

Cold, Cold Heart
Suddenly, you get a crazy feeling
Then in harmony
I wont be trading places
Now youre history,
Forget the time I let you play
Your mystery n I dont know
Happy from the start
Then ripped and torn apart
Looking for a place within your heart
Cold, cold heart
Not like the stars that shine so bright
Cold, cold heart of mine
Dont you remember
Cold, cold heart of mine
Close to me youre taking out the boy in me
Your chemistry
Frightens all the life from me
Your honesty
Sometimes aint so good
For your mystery n I dont know
Happy from the start
Then ripped and torn apart
Looking for a place within your heart
Cold, cold heart
Not like the stars that shine so bright
Cold, cold heart of mine
Dont you remember
Cold, cold heart
Cold, cold heart of mine
Loves for nothing but you try to get much more
Looking for something you never had before
The words left unspoken
Just walked right out the door for evermore
For evermore
The magic that love brings
The magic, oh,
That lights the stars so bright
Shine so bright
Yeah, gonna tell the world I love her
Gonna tell the world I love her
Cold, cold heart of mine
Dont you remember
Cold, cold heart
Shine so bright
Cold, cold heart of mine
Dont you remember
Cold, cold heart, yeah

Stars
The Stars are bright tonight
And I am walking nowhere
I guess I will be alright
Desire gets you nowhere
And you are always right
I thought you are so perfect
Take you as you were
Have you as you were
Take you as you were
I'll have you just the way are
I'll have you just the way are
I'll take you just the way are
Does anybody love the way you are
Aaa Aaa Aaa
The Stars are bright tonight
A distance is between us
And I will be OK
The worst I've ever seen us
And still I have my weaknesses
Still I have my strength
And still I have my ugliness
But I

Never Forget
Written by christine mcvie.
Come on baby, could you ever be
Just a little close to me
Ooh ooh ooh
Could we ever forget tonight?
Come on baby, lets take a stroll
Youre feelin warm so dont be cold
Ooh ooh oh
Well never forget tonight
What a wonderful night to be
The stars must be my friends
To shine for me.
Come on baby, now dont you be cold
Just remember that love is gold
Ooh ooh
We will never forget tonight

Evening Sky
I walked beneath the evening sky
and felt the chill of night
But the cold that chilled me as I walked
was not as cold as the sight
of the stars in the sky that stared at me
as if to say 'What's wrong? '
How could I answer those stars up there?
Could I hum them a lonely song?
They were there to brighten my stare
and take the chill away
But no stars could ever accomplish that
unless you walked my way
For you are the light that comforts
and warms the heart of me
You are the one bright star in my life,
not the stars in the sky I see

Let It Run
Your coming up the walk,
Your banging on the door
The seconds of the loneliness
Are coming through the floor
Let it run, let it run, let it run
And out of the band comes a guitar man
Singing come on let it run
Called up alone gathered up the light
Told everyone that everythings was going fine
Let it run, let it run, let it run
From out of the corner cam johnny be good
Singing come on let it run
Whoa, and up above the stars are bright
And well let it run let it run tonight
Up above the stars are bright
Let it run let it run tonight, tonight, tonight
Its getting louder now its pounding at my brain
And if it ever stops Im gonna start it up again
Let it run, let it run, let it run
From out of the valley came long tall sally
Singing come on let it run
Im already gone let it run
Come on let it run

Just Between You And Me
Just between you and me
By Peter Wolf
Staring at each other with accusing eyes
Keep our voices low you don't act surprised
If the word gets out yeah that's all right
I know your just looking for some sympathy
But listen you don't know how it gets back to me
Your getin' reckless girl
But that's all right
Now don't you know that one cold words gonna' lead to another
Then we'll have nowhere to go
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can see
Its just between you and me
I see telltale signs of a lover declined
She got something' to say
He don't take the time
I don't understand
But that's ok
Now you can turn the page or you can tear me apart
Don't make an open book out of my private heart
You should know better now
That's alright
Don't you know that one cold words gonna' lead to another
Then we'll nowhere to go
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the word can see
It's just between you and me
It's just between you and me
If we don't work this out we won't recover
We'll lived this out with love for one another
But with all I've heard and all I've seen
I'm still lost in the mystery
Again we're staring at each other with accusing eyes
Keep our voices low don't act surprised
If a word gets out yeah that's all right
And don't you know that one cold words gonna' lead to another
Then we'll have nowhere to go
Even if heaven collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can see
Its just between you and me
Even if heaven and earth collide tonight
We'll be all alone in a different light
I don't care what the world can see
Its just between you and me
Its just between you and me
Heaven and earth
I don't understand
All alone
Cold
Cold
Gonna' leave tonight
Heaven and earth
All alone
All alone
All alone

Waltz Across Texas Tonight
(rodney crowell/emmylou harris)
The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries
When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes
But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain
Youll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
Youll just hear my voice as it calls out your name
Youve been on a road that just dont seem to end
Where that broken old heart of yours wont ever mend
Youve crossed over bridges and bridges they burn
So many rivers and so much to learn
So many bridges and so much to learn
But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch Id light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And Ill waltz you my darling across texas tonight
Ill waltz you my darling across texas tonight
We both have known hard luck
And love thats gone wrong
When the ghosts take the shadows and
The night takes too long
We folded our cards when the hand wasnt strong
But that wheel will keep spinning long after were gone
Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after were gone
And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright
And my hand is steady, my touch is light
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight and ill
Waltz you my darling across texas tonight
Ill waltz you my darling across texas tonight
Look in my eyes, hold on real tight
And Ill waltz you my darling across texas tonight
Ill waltz you my darling across texas tonight

In The Darkness
Why am I here now
What have I done
Running on empty - I got nowhere to run
Cant get an answer
Cant get it right
Just try to make it
till the end of the night
Is there a way to avoid doing wrong
Lead me away from the darkness
Light up my day show me where I belong
Please dont leave me all alone in the darkness
Far in the distance
There is night, there is day
Sounds are waving nets of dismay
Sometimes Im stuck in a shocking delay
Like in a slow motion movie
Im reaching out for something to hold
Life slips away in the cold - in the cold
My heart is so cold - my heart is so cold
Why was I turned down
Whats going on
I wish there was something that could have been done
How can I get there
Where is the light
How can I make it
till the end of the night
How can I turn darkness to light
Leaving my fear in the darkness
Is there a way how can I overcome
My restless nights and my fear - and my fear
In the darkness - in the darkness - in the darkness

Black Comedy
Sweet cunning eyes try to take from me
Youre too young, Im too wise, this is parody
A taste of what you like can be fatal sometimes
Arms that hold you tight but leave you cold, so cold
The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words wont make me right
cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy
Love, maybe lust, made me sweet sixteen
So my soul lost control, nothing in between
A taste of what you want can be brutal sometimes
Arms that hold you tight but leave you cold, so cold
The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words wont make me right
cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy
The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words wont make me right
cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy
The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words wont make me right
cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy
The stars in the sky are out of reach tonight
Tears fall like rain, wrong again, words wont make me right
cause I knew from the start you were wrong for me
Call it fate if you like or black comedy

I Tried To Look At The Sky Tonight
I TRIED TO LOOK AT THE SKY TONIGHT
I tried to look at the sky tonight
As if the stars were lights of other bright worlds
Magical in their beauty
Human in their hope of habitation-
I tried to look at the sky tonight
As if I did not know of
Dark matter and dark energy
Vast galaxies and extreme temperatures
Distances beyond imagining –
I tried to look at the sky tonight
As if I were innocent of all scientific understanding
And could not –
We will never be innocent again
And our longing in looking at the sky
Never be what it once was-
The stars are not the stars anymore
And the heavens not the heavens – either.

Fish
The cop holds me up like a fish;
he feels the huge bones
surrounding my eyes,
and he runs a thumb under them,
lifting my eyelids
as if they were
envelopes filled with the night.
Now he turns
my head back and forth, gently,
until I'm so tame and still
I could be a tiny, plastic
skull left on the
dashboard of a junked car.
By now he's so sure of me
he chews gum,
and drops his flashlight to his side;
he could be cleaning a trout
while the pines rise into the darkness,
though tonight trout
are freezing into bits of stars
under the ice. When he lets me go
I feel numb. I feel like
a fish burned by his touch, and turn
and slip into the cold
night rippling with neons,
and the razor blades
of the poor,
and the torn mouths on posters.
Once, I thought even through this
I could go quietly as a star turning over and over
in the deep truce of its light.
Now, I must
go on repeating the last, filthy
words on the lips
of this shunken head
shining out of its death in the moon—
until trout surface
with their petrified, round eyes,
and the stars begin moving.

Two Hearts
(Vince Gill / Leslie Satcher)
There's a man drinkin' whiskey in a barroom
He's nursin' a broken heart
There's a woman at a table
With her own brand of misery
Cryin' in the dark.
Chorus:
Will two hearts make on tonight
Will somebody lost fond someone who's lost
Will strangers info comfort
In the cold neon light
Will two hearts make one tonight.
Oh, there's just a waitress between them
They're so close to finding their dreams
They're just one dance away
From easing the pain
Of coming apart at the seams.
Chorus:
Will two hearts make on tonight
Will somebody lost fond someone who's lost
Will strangers info comfort
In the cold neon light
Will two hearts make one tonight.
Chorus:
Will two hearts make on tonight
Will somebody lost fond someone who's lost
Will strangers info comfort
In the cold neon light
Will two hearts make one tonight.
Will two hears make one tonight...

The Winter Poem Is A Cold Poem
THE WINTER POEM IS A COLD POEM
The winter poem is a cold poem
It is a poem seeking warmth
It wants to feel a comfort
In being at home
But the cold is deep
And so dark
And the pain so rigid in its breaking
That no light can heat it
And no sun can thaw it
And nothing not even the bright blue skies of another time
Can make one forget it.
The winter poem is a hard poem and a cold poem
And the soul of that poem is as loveless as death.

The coldest of the cold?
A greedy person’s Cold ambition
Or could it be Cold windy nights
The pureness of Cold clear water
Or the alien aspect of Cold neon lights
The careless Cold shoulder
The unfeeling Cold heart
The curse of Cold nature
Cold hands held apart
Could it be Cold feet
Could it be cold fears
Could it be cold weather
Or icy cold ears
Even above cold blood…
Even above… being apart
My choice of all, above, Would be
the unfeeling…of a cold, cold heart

Light.
Light me a light any kind of light,
Just shine its beam into my darkest night,
For like a child I stay up in fright,
So light me a light any light tonight.
Candlelight, moonlight any light is just right,
For in that light I might find my might!
Don’t sing me a song, don’t hold me tight,
Just light me a light, any light tonight.
Light me a light to assist my sight,
Just my naked eye darkness cannot fight,
So before darkness gets a chance to bite,
Light me a light any kind of light.
Flickering, glaring or outright bright,
I don’t care what kind just light me a light,
All I need is darkness away tonight,
So light me a light any kind of light.

Hey Deanie

Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The stars are dancin
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The summers waitin
The moon is shinin so bright
Hey deanie youre the one
Im dreamin of
I was a fool for your love
From the moment I saw you
Like a vision in the darkness
Of a thousand lonesome, lonely nights
Like my heart threw away the key
Im as blind as a man could be
Oh darlin
Till you help me see the light
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The stars are dancin
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The summers waitin
The moon is shinin so bright
Hey deanie youre the one
Im dreamin of
I stand accused
Im in league with the forces of darkness
An incurable believer
In the magic of the midnight sky
And the love that I found today
Oh, I cant let it slip away
Oh darlin, cant you read between the lines
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The stars are dancin
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The summers waitin
The moon is shinin so bright
Hey deanie youre the one
Im dreamin of
Deanie, love is all there is
I dont wanna lose it
Dont wanna let the evenin go
If its here within our reach
I think we should use it
Now while were young enough
To still let it show
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The stars are dancin
Like diamonds in the moonlight
And we could never find a better time
To be in love
Hey deanie
Wont you come out tonight
The summers waitin
The moon is shinin so bright
Hey deanie youre the one
Im dreamin of
Hey deanie
Youre the one Im dreamin of
Hey deanie
Youre the one Im dreamin of
Wont you come out tonight
Youre the one that Im dreamin of
Im a fool for your love
Wont you come out
Come out tonight
