Harry Chapin
Shooting Star

He was crazy of course

From the first she must have known it

But still she went on with him

And she never once had shown it



And she took him off the streets

And she dried his tears of grievin'

She listened to his visions

She believed in his believin'



Ah, he was the sun, burning bright and brittle

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

He was a shooting star

She was softer and more slowly

He could not make things possible

But, she could make them holy, holy



He was dancing to some music

No one else had ever heard

He'd speak in unknown languages

She'd translate every word



And when the world was laughing

At his castles in the sky

She'd hold him in her body

Till he once again would fly



Ah, he was the sun, burning bright and brittle

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

He was a shooting star

She was softer and more slowly

He could not make things possible

But, she could make them holy, holy



But she gave him a daughter

And she gave him a son

She was a mother and a wife

And a lover when the day was done



He was too far gone for giving love

What he'd offer in its stead

Was the knowledge she was the only thing

That was not in his head



He took off east one morning

In the rising sun's red glow

She knew he was going nowhere

But of course she let him go



As then she stood and watched him dwindle

Much too empty to be sad

He reappeared beside her saying

"You're all I've ever had"



Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

He was a shooting star

She was softer and more slowly

He could not make things possible

But, she could make them holy, holy


Mirror lyrics:

But, she could make them holy, holy

He could not make things possible

She was softer and more slowly

He was a shooting star

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

Ah, he was the sun burning bright and brittle



"You're all I've ever had"

He reappeared beside her saying

Much too empty to be sad

As then she stood and watched him dwindle



But of course she let him go

She knew he was going nowhere

In the rising sun's red glow

He took off east one morning



That was not in his head

Was the knowledge she was the only thing

What he'd offer in its stead

He was too far gone for giving love



And a lover when the day was done

She was a mother and a wife

And she gave him a son

But she gave him a daughter



But, she could make them holy, holy

He could not make things possible

She was softer and more slowly

He was a shooting star

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

Ah, he was the sun, burning bright and brittle



Till he once again would fly

She'd hold him in her body

At his castles in the sky

And when the world was laughing



She'd translate every word

He'd speak in unknown languages

No one else had ever heard

He was dancing to some music



But, she could make them holy, holy

He could not make things possible

She was softer and more slowly

He was a shooting star

And she was the moon shining back his light a little

Ah, he was the sun, burning bright and brittle

She listened to his visions

And she dried his tears of grievin'

And she took him off the streets



And she never once had shown it

But still she went on with him

From the first she must have known it

He was crazy of course
