Stars by Traveling John Lyrics

What if you were born a thousand miles from me
Cross the mountains and the sea
And were brought up in a town i didn't know
A hundred years ago
Then I had never found my ways
I'd stumble in the dark
Cause darling it's a lightless sky
If you're not here to bring out the stars


What if you were to decide you'd go away
And not a word could make you stay
Then I would lie about how glad I was for you
Trying something new
If we would never be no more
I would fall apart
Oh darling it's a lightless sky
If you're not here to bring out the stars

I know that I am not the easiest
I know that I can be a mess to figure out
I know that I have done you wrong sometimes
But in the end I hope you know there is no doubt
If the world is coming down on you
There's not a thing i wouldn't do for you

I remember having dreams when I was young
Now that confidence is gone
And I'm afraid it's even worse than it appears
I've lost it through the years
So help me get it back somehow
Lead me through the dark

Oh darling it's a lightless sky
If you're not here to bring out the stars
Oh darling it's a lightless sky
If you're not here to bring out the stars
