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
