| Near a star called Sun
|
| It was there that my mom came undone
|
| Sounds of a summer parade
|
| 90.5 in the shade
|
| She drifted off on the 4th of July
|
| A holiday look in her eyes
|
| Said goodbye to a lifetime of pain
|
| She died in a mid-summer rain
|
| She said
|
| There's one million stars
|
| For every little grain of sand down there
|
| She floated up like a rocket in space
|
| The misery gone from her face
|
| Flying through comets and stars
|
| Out past the canyons on Mars
|
| She saw the future and she saw the past
|
| She said, don't worry, it's not meant to last
|
| Everything's always OK
|
| Even the worst of your days
|
| There's one million stars…
|
| So now she's there when I look at the sky
|
| Or when I drink whisky or wine
|
| Or when I feel frightened at night
|
| Or days when I'm sick of my life
|
| She says, son it'll all be alright
|
| Everything's already fine
|
| If only you knew what I've seen
|
| You'd never feel frightened again
|
| There's one million stars… |
