And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon

You shone too soon, you shone too soon

Oh when will this war be over?

And the madness leaves the air
This brick that's found between us
And the pulling of the hair


But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now


And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon


Volunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
The sick still feed the hungry

And the last battle song has cried

But if there's a reason

I don't need to know right now

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon


Oh and I always thought
That you, you wanted me

Oh and I always thought some how
That you, you wanted me


Ahhh, but if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
'Cause beyond the pale eyes' evening

And the shadow of the cloud

And the light of a fading star

Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon


And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are

Like the glow that christens the moon
You shone too soon, you shone too soon


And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
