2. This woman here before me
Was once a beauty so fine and fair
But she burned away her flower
In fights and booze and tears
And we've used up all our chances
Chasing stars on a one way street
And now our hands are empty
And none of us can speak
3. Now I'm heading back to the desert
Straight for the setting sun
And I have more days behind me now
More days than I have to come
And I don't know if I'll get there
Or find anything I can keep
I just hope I can recover
Some of the sleep that I have missed
In 4/4 time except for chords marked *, that bar is 2/4

2. He's a man, he's not so young
Got a family of his own
And all his friends have moved away
Some have even passed on
He thinks why does he stay?
why not he too move away?
3. Sometimes he sees them, his old friends
When he goes into town
They talk and laugh
Some drink too much
And end up sorry for themselves
And for the days no longer there
For the future they can't share
4. Inst.
He thinks why does he still stay?
Why not he too move away?

What happened? Why is the place so silence?
Why is the sea or ocean so calm?
What for is so clear sky?
Because of seven sisters stars are rising
Because of seven sisters stars are rising
Moving slow along the milky way
So slowly, pouring black inks into calm shell
Because of seven sisters stars are rising
Because of seven sisters stars are rising

travelling on a lonely road Going someplace I dunno The way ahead was

bleak and getting dark Was it something in the sky above Or

something in the broken scrub That made me sudden-ly think of you 2.The

you Wondering if you'd still remember Wondering if you knew But

be together and that day is coming up That
