Chasing Starlight

Here we are under the desert sky
Dreaming of all we see
Surrounded by stars
You and me, all alone

Out here we're made like the weathered stones
Lost in the ancient sea
You and me, far from home, all alone

Chasing starlight
All the way to the sunrise
Capture your thoughts in my minds eye
Its more than we could dream

Sipping moonshine
Digging it out of the landslide
Its painted there on the hillside
The ghosts of you and me

Been saving it up from those rainy days
To put it inside a picture frame
We rambled on, the fires strong in you and me

From St. Antoine through sacred ground
To Escalante desert towns
We rambled on like a song on the breeze

Chasing starlight
While living it up in the moonlight
Taking a chance when it feels right
Right as it can be

And we can't go back
Even if we're on the wrong track
Chasing the sundown and all that
Finds us in the dream

Take a photograph
And don't forget to laugh
At all the wonders and mysteries

And when winters cold seeps in
Borrows under the skin
I'll light the fire for you and me

Sweet are these days on the road of life
Strong in the faith that we got it right
Skipping stones, spirit shown to you and me

Still saving up from those rainy days
Getting lost in the maze
Of long desert roads, far from home
Along the way

Chasing starlight
Feeling it living the good life
Finding under the landslide
Like fossils in the sea

And if we come back
To give it a shot and make contact
No matter what in the abstract
With the ghosts of you and me

Chasing starlight
All the way to the sunrise
Capture your thoughts in my minds eye
Its more than we could dream

And we can't go back
Even if we're on the wrong track
Chasing the sundown and all that
Finds us in the dream
