Dark Star

Crosby, Stills & Nash

Forgive me if my fantasies might

Seem a little shopworn

I'm sure you've heard it all before.

I wonder what's the right form

Love songs written for you,

It's been going down for years

But to sing what's in my heart

Seems more honest than the tears.



I am curious, don't want to hurry us.

I'm intrigued with us.

Ain't this song a bust.

I don't care, dark star.



I met you several years ago,

The times they were so strange,

But I had a feeling.

You looked into my eyes just once,

An instant flashing by that we were stealing.

Another time you felt so bad,

And I wasn't any help at all as I recall.

We didn't quite know what to do

So we left the wanting be

Still there for me and you.



Dark star, I see you in the morning,

Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.

Dark star, let the memory of the evening

Be the first thing that you think of

When you open up your smile and see me, dark star.



It's easy to be with you

Even with the storms that rage

Beneath your search for peace.

We must make some time together

Take the kids and find a world

That's ours to keep.

Now you've got me dreaming girl.

It's been so long that I thought that I'd forgotten how.

My heart is once again my soul.

We touched, we did, you know we did,

No more teasing now.



Dark star, I see you in the morning,

Dark star, a' sleeping next to me.

Dark star, let the memory of the evening

Be the first thing that you think of

When you open up your smile and see me, dark star.
