Starshine

You used to call me starshine

I used to wonder why.

I used to call you moonshine, now I

See the reason I

Got so drunk off words you spoke I

nearly went blind.

Now and then see you pretend

through misty foggy eyes

That time the wind and us the dust

swept up away and off.

Nothing left where nothing was

swept up away and off.

(you know)

I could never lie when I was

staring at your curls.

Cashing in those empty bottles

just to buy you pearls.

I drank 'em first but there's no thirst 

quite like the one you left me with.

Always parched, and never quenched until

I find you in a fifth.

I used to call you moonshine

Now you're whiskey, bourbon, rye.

You used to call me starshine

and I still wonder why.
