Lyrics

Only God knows
How it happened that day
In the heavens
When a comet lost its way

Oh, the tail burned bright
Loved the flames
Flew too far from my sight
Carrying all the wishes I’d made on my

Shooting star
Shooting star

Cold stardust fell
Into a wishing well
Near the delivery room
Into a new mother’s arms
She gave your sweet soul
A new place, a new home, a new life
Where I know you’re shining, my

Shooting star
Shooting star
Maybe never mine
Maybe help me find my
Shooting star

When will the light find its way
Into the keyhole that’s become my mind
When will it find a way to my eyes
I stare at the same hole in the night sky
And though a million suns are shining
I am blind, and looking for my
Shooting star

In twilight sleep
The light seeps in
Like a chance
Like a glimpse of that space

But there’s no straight line
From here to that place
From this life, to my

Shooting star
Shooting star
Maybe never mine
Maybe help me find my
Shooting star
