And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shown too soon, you shown too soonAh when will this war be over?
And the madness leave the air
This brick that's flown between us
And the pulling of the hair
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right nowAnd the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shown too soon, you shown too soonVolunteers are soon forgotten
And many more of us shall die
The sick still feed the hungry
And the last battle song has cried
But if there's a reason
I don't need to know right nowAnd the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shown too soon, you shown too soonAnd I always thought
That you, you wanted me
Oh and I always thought somehow
That you, you wanted meBut if there's a reason
I don't need to know right now
'Cause beyond the pale lies evening
And the shadow of the ploughAnd the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shown too soon, you shown too soonAnd the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
Like the glow that christens the moon
You shown too soon, you shown too soon
And the light of a fading star
Is what you were, is what you are
