Black Star Lyrics

It's been a while since we met here beside this dirty harbour

We used to listen to the radio and stare out at the sea

I know you don't recall that song we heard

But I haven't forgotten a single word

It's nothing to you it was everything to me

I'm weary of this tired town and wary of its vices

And we were finished years ago, I'm sure that you'd agree

"Don't know you anymore," is all you say

"And you're back out on the road tomorrow anyway."

Did you rehearse how you would say how you'd been missing me?

REFRAIN:

Not bound to this desolate place

This time tomorrow I'll be gone

1400 miles and moving

Leave these troubled streets behind

Forget the look on your desolate face

This time tomorrow I'll be no one

Nothing but a ghost of something fading in the dust

Of all you have and all you know and all you see

All you'll have is this memory of me

I've nothing left to leave with you -

just leave you with your silence

But I would give a fortune to know

what's churning in your head

Because the sentiment of your silent smile

Has silently been killing me all the while

What I would give to get inside your skull

Sort through all the things you haven't said

REFRAIN

It's what you haven't said

And what you haven't done

And all the things you haven't mentioned

REFRAIN
