LyricMeaning

For The Stars
Anne Sofie von Otter & Elvis Costello

The stars were so much brighter then

They dim and die

So why pretend

The sky goes on forever

But if they fade as science teaches

Poets lose the power of speech

Waste paper, ink and feather


If I'd taken up the trumpet

As I should have done

Then I wouldn't be

Always losing sleep

While I'm trying to make this rhyme


For the stars

Were so much

They were so much brighter then

If I couldn't put a price on your head

What's the use of me trying

For the stars?


The morning comes, the days are

Just the time between

Until the dusk

When we can be together


If I'd taken up the drums

And I could play in time

If I had the power

Would I be wond'ring how

I'm ever going to write this down


For the stars

Were so much

They were so much brighter then

If I couldn't put a price on your head

Then what's the use of me trying

For the stars?
