Star of Bethlehem

The star of Bethlehem shines on the hot, velvet night
 I was walking home, sunburned and stoned
 Having clumsily tried to shift the weight off my mind
 Well, you know what my words are worth now
 She'd be gone in the morning, she was just packing her things
 Her back was turned, saying "you'll never learn"
 Well, my love stays obscured
 While I'm feeling so hurt
 So, you know what my words are worth now
 Little; next to nothing,
 'Cause I come home to you every night
 Oh I've tried
 To slip from your side to the easy silence
 To dance with the shadows of a life passing by
 So, the hours kept turning, felt the dawn coming on
 She pushed me then, put it all to the test
 Did I wrap 'round your dreams or is it a good time to leave?
 So, you know what my words are worth now.
 As she drifted away, I didn't expect so much pain
 I was frantic, spent, clutching the bedsheets, I begged her to stay
 Was sure she'd fell into place
 So, you know what my words are worth now
 Little; next to nothing,
 'Cause I come home to you every night
 Oh I've tried
 To slip from your side to the easy silence
 To dance with the shadows of a life passing by
 Lady, I know I've been ready to go for as long as you know me by name
 Time's getting passed,
 I keep waiting on chance, but convinced that you're something I need
 It's never a good time, it seems
 A good time to leave
 Never a good time to leave
