Star of Bethlehem Songtext
von Balto

The star of Bethlehem shines on the hot, velvet night
I was walking home, sunburned and stoned
Having clumsily tried to shift the weight off my mind
Well, you know what my words are worth now

She′d be gone in the morning, she was just packing her things
Her back was turned, saying "you'll never learn"
Well, my love stays obscured
While I′m feeling so hurt
So, you know what my words are worth now

Little; next to nothing,
'Cause I come home to you every night
Oh I've tried
To slip from your side to the easy silence
To dance with the shadows of a life passing by


So, the hours kept turning, felt the dawn coming on
She pushed me then, put it all to the test
Did I wrap ′round your dreams or is it a good time to leave?
So, you know what my words are worth now.

As she drifted away, I didn′t expect so much pain
I was frantic, spent, clutching the bedsheets, I begged her to stay
Was sure she'd fell into place
So, you know what my words are worth now

Little; next to nothing,
′Cause I come home to you every night
Oh I've tried
To slip from your side to the easy silence
To dance with the shadows of a life passing by

Lady, I know I′ve been ready to go for as long as you know me by name

Time's getting passed,
I keep waiting on chance, but convinced that you′re something I need

It's never a good time, it seems
A good time to leave
Never a good time to leave
