I turned over in my sleep last night
So cold I could barely breathe
I thought I felt a rush
Like a star burning by
But it was too dark outside to see
I know it wasn't mine
I know it wasn't mine
Mine's here with me
I felt a rumble like a cold black wind
And for months now
It's kept me awake
I drove up and down the coast four times
And I dove into oceans and lakes
And I dreamed of nights
That ran with sand
Like rivers through my hair
And I thought on times
I danced and shivered
In the blue night air
Oh, with a star I wouldn't share
Oh, with a star I wouldn't share
I drank rum red like roses
And gold like city lights
I sat on park benches
And I watched strangers pass by in a blur
I heard the rustle and the bustle
Of the coats on the throats of him and her
Oh, I let go of the feeling of feeling sure
So now I'll go down by the docks
And listen to the clocks
Tick by in my ears
I'll watch the water lap up on the rocks
And sit counting all my thoughts
While I stay rooted here
With all the things that I'm afraid of
That one day, I might forget to fear
