"No Star" lyrics

"No Star"

So cold down by the docks, I
Lost all my money, won't you lock up and hide me?
So lonely, so scary
Try to sing but I can barely remember the song
Somebody better come along
No star tonight to guide me

I don't sing of days on the highway 'cause it's
Chilly in the gully and it's windy in the alley and there's
Less to lose with friends around you
If you were fallin' then I would try to
Look out behind
Bad news in somebody's mind
No star tonight to guide me

And if there's one thing
That's worse than being lost
It's knowing you're so close to being found and never settin' foot on that good ground

Side stall hawkers hold out the curtain with
Eyes that shame and songs of hurtin'
Friends leavin', not returnin'
Left to chance and never certain
You can't win 'em all
Walk on or you're bound to fall
No star tonight to guide me

And if there's one thing
That's worse than being lost
It's knowing you're so close to being found and never settin' foot on that good ground
