"Fare Thee Well" by Indigo Girls

Fare thee well my bright star i watched your taillights
blaze into nothingness but you were long gone before i ever
got to you before you blazed past this address and now i
think of having loved and having lost you never know what
it's like to never love who can say what's better and my
heart's become the cost a mere token of a brighter jewel
sent from up above fare thee well my bright star the vanity
of youth the color of your eyes maybe if i'd fanned the
blazing fire of your day to day of if i'd been older i'd
been wise to thick the heat of those long summer evenings
for a cool evening i began to yearn but you could only feel
upon the things which feed a fire waiting to see if i would
burn fare thee well my bright star it was a brief brilliant
miracle dive that which i looked up to and i clung to for
dear life had to burn itself up just to make itself alive i
caught you then in your moment of glory your last dramatic
scene against a night sky stage with a memory so clear it's
as if you're still before me my once in a lifetime star of
an age so fare thee well my bright star last night the
tongues of fire circled my around this strange season of
pain will come to pass when the heating hands of autumn cool
me down
