Fallen
I saw you falling like a shooting star
in the dark night sky
brazen and beautiful
mesmerizing were you
A blazing arch of sparkling light
streaking naked across the heavens
but already fading as you fell
I caught my breath and felt unsteady
as I witnessed your charging descent
I never dreamed of looking away
not for a moment, not for a blink
Long before I was ready
your former glory was but a memory
Now there's nothing left to remind
the world of where your place had been
Couldn't even retrace your path
if I had a million years to try
Only one of your kind
Nothing can fill the blackhole that’s left behind
Found myself wishing, then and there
that you had chosen a different way to be
no flash, no bling, no rock and roll
just a pulsing diamond in the sky, always there to see
I'm out here alone, under the same dark sky
hoping, praying and wishing with all my might
that I don't see another falling star tonight
