Lyrics One Less Shining Star - Steve Wynn, The Miracle 3

One Less Shining Star

By and large he was well accustomed
To the twists and turns of the higher plane
But as the story got closer to the finish
He wondered if the ending would always be the same
He took a look at the Yellow Pages
And randomly signed up to a charitable cause
That seemed most likely to fail without a trace
While operating within the law
And no one knew just where he had gone
Or why anyone would want to pick up the trail
But the evidence wasn’t hard to connect
Registered by the US mail
The plane touched down outside of Argentina
On a private runway near a sunny beach
He stepped down onto the tarmac
And moved a little further out of reach
Fading from the public eye
One less shining star in the sky
