Patterson Hood - Come Back Little Star lyrics

rate me

Heaven blue eyes

Those long black lashes

Razor tongue and southern drawl

Pouring out like molasses

A trail of silver mercury

To show us all what you've seen

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 had these dreams too long

To let them slip through your hands

I've got a drink or two myself to control the sting

This town got blown to tatters

When you traded in your wheels for wings

Baby don't go!

Come back little star and take me with you in the night

Exploding 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 lonely 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 and place

Chasing bugs in your granny's yard

Before you disappeared 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

Could wish to have you here

I could wish to have you here

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
