Stars Lyrics

Is it asking too much to be given time
to know these songs & to sing them
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
& my laugh & lies that bring them

But as the stars are going out
& this stage is full of nothing
& the friends have all but gone
for my life my god I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside
leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out...

Is it asking too much of my favourite friends
to take these songs for real
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
to take these songs for real

Is it asking too much
is it asking too much...
