Stella Polaris

from The Illusion Machine by Dede Booth

lyrics

Nostalgia in the night sky,
another sunset.
So much wasted on these crumpled photographs.
Ticket stubs and mileage,
just one more curtain close.
The day is soaked in limelight but the show must go on for someone.

Missed out on my tomorrow. Stella Polaris.
I went so far but not enough. Stella Polaris.

Had every good intention,
assumed for a new day.
Piled high on my list, but later never came for someone.

Missed out on my tomorrow. Stella Polaris.
I went so far but not enough. Stella Polaris.

A burning sky is high demand,
time is cut short through a silhouette's hand.
Light years to conquer what we've lost,
the shorter the days the greater the cost.

Desire is disappearing
all for the sake of a short lived fame.
External validation
tries to erase any trace of a name.

Missed out on my tomorrow. Stella Polaris.
I went so far but not enough. Stella Polaris.
