We Let the Stars Go

There was that girl I used to know She'd tease me about my name Fan the embers long enough I sometimes catch her flame The soothing voice of distance tells me "That was just a fling" Other music fills my ears But I still hear her sing: She sings: Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe Don't you remember me? How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe Don't you remember me? How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go free There was a boy I used to be I guess that he was cold If she came to buy him now How cheaply he'd be sold But the light is gone and it is dark What used to be the sky Is suddenly embarrassing To the naked eye You see: Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe Can't face this memory How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe Can't face this memory How long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Long ago one gorgeous night We let the stars go Long ago one stupid night We let the stars go free We let the stars go free We let the stars go free We let the stars go free We let the stars go free
