eastern star bar
The car door swings open
And I sit down inside.
It’s got one-way, tinted glass
But there’s no where I can hide.
From the sigh that makes me wonder
How wise you have to be
To keep from gettin’ torn apart
When one and one are three.
I speed into the night
Away from a Santa Fe bar
Where she looks at her reflection
In the sign of the Eastern Star.
It’s an endless centerline
That I’m followin’ tonight.
Feels like I’ll follow it forever
When she’s not there to hold me tight.
There's an eastern star rising,
Oh honey you were the one.
It's getting bright, so bright,
But I swear it's the wrong sun.
My mind’s not free to wander
It’s comin’ all the way
While my heart looks at a star
Back there in Santa Fe.
Sometimes it can happen
That your mind travels so far
From the thing you both wanted
In a room of The Eastern Star.
There's an eastern star rising,
Oh honey you were the one.
It's getting bright, so bright,
But I swear it's the wrong sun.
The miles go on receding
From the back wheels of my car
While I’m wishin’ I could see her reflection
In the sign of the Eastern Star.
There's an eastern star rising,
Oh honey you were the one.
It's getting bright, so bright,
But I swear it's the wrong sun.
Must be something I can’t see
That’s keeping us apart,
Something hidden behind
A sign of the Eastern Star.
Back there beyond my mind
She sees exactly what we are
And exactly what keeps her staring
At a sign of the Eastern Star.
There's an eastern star rising,
Oh honey you were the one.
It's getting bright, so bright,
But I swear it's the wrong sun.
