Carpenter Mary-Chapin - Ideas Are Like Stars - Sözleri

Today Joseph is sitting alone, with occasional nods to the waitress


She tops off his cup while she's snapping her gum, making her rounds on the lunch shift


Counting out coins, he leaves them arranged, in neat lines and circles and arcs


She just stares at the tip that spells out her name and ideas are like stars





And yesterday pedaling down 4th Avenue, between the stalls and the bookshops


The sepia tones of a lost afternoon cradled a curio storefront


And inside the air was thick with the past, as the dust settled onto his heart


And here for a moment is every place in the world and ideas are like stars





They fall from the sky, they run round your head


They litter your sleep as they beckon


They'd teach you to fly without wires or thread


They promise if only you'd let them





For the language of longing never had words, so how did you speak from your heart


Yet here is a box that swears it has heard that ideas are like stars





Tonight Joseph stood out in the yard, as Debussy played from the kitchen


Celestial companions `til mornings first lark, shone overhead and he listened


And who was that shadow there by the gate, who was that there standing guard


It was only loneliness, and loneliness waits, and ideas are like stars


Ideas are like stars
