"Stardancer"
By Tom Rapp

When my father went to space
I woke up one morning and he was gone
I would lie out in the yard
And try to see a falling star
Something to wish upon (something to wish upon)

Out there on the edge of things
He would be freelancing
In the midnight sprinkled sky
He would open up his hands and go
Stardancing (stardancing)

Sometimes I would watch a star and it would break loose from the sky
A tongue of fire in the air when a star falls home to die (home to die)
I always felt my father touched them and if the sky were torn
Somewhere beyond his hand, another one was born (another one was born)

For a man who needs a place, where he can see a star
The open land above the air is where the answers are
When stars go burning through the night
You can never touch them all
On the razor edge of space
Stardancers sometimes fall
Stardancre

It's falling, always falling
And I would watch it all
To see me a stardancer
And watch my father fall

When my father went to space, I woke up one morning and he was gone
I would lie out in the yard and try to see a falling star

I could wish upon
