Guiding Star
Standing here like a statue,
Cold wind blows, I know where to go.
I've been up and down,
Like a seagull fighting thru a gale.
God, the more I live the less I know that I know
Feel like I've bled everywhere,
Won a few but I've sure lost my share.
Been in the bus and thrown under the wheels
Had my heart ground under those heels.
Lost my soul and sight trying not to care.
But whether up or down,
Whether I've lost or won,
You always shine so bright.
No matter where you are,
You're my guiding star.
Down each pass and avenue,
I'll take what I can and in time I know what's true.
But when I can't see and I feel too much,
When the light is gone and shadows long,
I always seek the strength I've found in you.
In another time and space,
I'd get lost inside your style and grace.
Beyond the reach of broken hearts,
Where I'd see all my hope and dreams,
Written in your beautiful face.
And whether up or down,
Whether I've lost or won,
You always are the light.
No matter where you are,
You're my guiding star.
You always say that I should look,
At everything I have that's good.
So I'm gonna stand outside,
And let the sun shine down on me.
And hope the love we know is understood.
But whether up or down,
Whether I've lost or won,
You always shine so bright.
No matter where you are,
You're my guiding star.
You're my guiding star…
You're my guiding star.
(With love to Patricia)
