Stars All Seem To Weep -- Beth Orton

(Poem #207)Stars All Seem To Weep Stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger And food and love was all but left to hunger. 'Cause when I stray from my truth as I grow older Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger. I think about you on a moonlit night And the stars all seem to weep. When there's so much to lose There's never any time for sleep. Look at me doing all these things without you. We always left a new world untrue. Where was it we tried hard not to go to? I think that's how I finally came through. All the things we took for granted The words still live on in my head All the times I took for granted All the words I never said. I think about you in the moonlit night, And the stars all seem to weep. When there's so much love to give, There's never any time for sleep, yeah. So I stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger And human life was all but left to hunger, 'Cause when I stray from the truth as I grow older Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger. Too much leaves an empty hollow hunger. Living without you Living without you. Living without you, oh. -- Beth Orton
