Bright Stars

I saw an angel through a doorway She told me of her name And though the syllables were hard to swallow I spoke it just the same In a dream In a dream I saw a canon in a courtyard It sat smoking like a liar Though it held onto rainwater Its purpose was for fire In a war In a war Bright stars fade away Bright stars fade away Fade away I lost a lover from the distance Painfully bloodless Now we speak as if strangers And fault ourselves for darkness In the night In the night Bright stars fade away Bright stars fade away
