Elvis Costello – For The Stars Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: For The Stars [With Anne Sofie Von Otter]

(feat. Anne Sofie Von Otter)



The stars were so much brighter then,
They dim and die,
So why pretend
The sky goes on forever:
But if they fade as science teaches,
Poets lose the power of speech.
Waste paper, ink and feather.

If I^,d taken up the trumpet
As I should have done,
Then I wouldn^,t be
Always losing sleep,
While I^,m trying to make this rhyme.

For the stars
Were so much,
They were so much brighter then.
If I couldn^,t put a price on your head,
[ For The Stars lyrics from

What^,s the use of me trying
For the stars?

The morning comes, the days are
Just the time between
Until the dusk,
When we can be together,

If I^,d taken up the drums
And I could play in time,
If I had the power,
Would I be wond^,ring how,
I^,m ever going to write this down.

For the stars
Were so much,
They were so much brighter then.
If I couldn^,t put a price on your head,
Then what^,s the use of me trying
For the stars?
