Brick and mortar and boarded up doors Shattered stained glass confetti on the floor A wild dove coos from the lofty decay He's mourning a forgotten day Bells used to ring for the Angelus Angels would kneel when the wine was blessed Somewhere in the shuffle of a brave new age The faithful just walked away And when the crowd turns its back on me Would you love me like you did when I held the fire? You know they're the same stars that still shine Even if they used to shine, Brighter Well, here it comes again, honey don't be sad The tough get tougher when the goin' gets bad A spark starts a fire, a word makes a rhyme The wind can move a mountain but it just takes time And should the years treat me unkind, Would you hold my hand just a little tighter? You know they're the same stars that still shine Even if they used to shine, Brighter Promises kept for all they cost The incense smoke and battles lost Outrunning youth 'neath a dark red sun I find my greatest regrets are what I've left undone Swept away in a grand decline The city at night, the street's a mire Shall we search the earth for where the stars still shine? We'll find 'em again and find 'em Brighter It was never theirs, just yours and mine The poetry of war and a tongue-tied fighter The vault falls away to a sky divine And all the stars shining still Brighter
