[Hook]
When the Sun is low and twilight rolls through
Weepin' willows, widow's singin' the blues
He'll visit you as a falling star
When the twilight's gone and midnight rolls through
Grandma singin', dipper winkin' at you
Don't you forget ‘bout those fallen stars
[Refrain]
That's what we got told
Before we got old
When his wings broke
She didn't eat til he got home with the stars
Traveling beyond the Milky Way
That's what we got told
Before we got old
‘Til her wings broke
Not gonna wait til she's not home with the stars
I'd steal the Moon if you fly away
[Verse]
I'd steal the moon if you fly
Too far away, you know I
Can't see the road without ya
Blackness around my torchlight
Bridgestone beneath the moonlight
Swingin' back and forth like
Your old chair when the wood be squeakin'
Your hood was leakin' Caddy juice on the front of the porch like
Four hunnid spokes, we goin' way back
Like dandruff underneath my wave cap
Like cabbage babies on a raised patch of daisies
Call me crazy
Cause I swear I hear your voice calling out my name every time I hear the wind blow
So I'm paying attention
Left you a Diet Coke out on the ledge of my window
You was a quiet bloke
I'm reminded as I take a giant toke off of my Cabrini Green
Indirectly pointed me in a direction where a nigga could find a better me
With my mind in the constellations
See your face in my imagination
Interstellar dreams
[Hook]
When the Sun is low and twilight rolls through
Tire swingin', Willow singin' the blues
Under the canopy of the stars
When the twilight's gone and midnight rolls through
Sparrow singin', Grandma winkin' at you
Never forget ‘bout those fallen stars
[Bridge:]
Yo' grammy called, you left the phone rangin'
You ain't got no torch, boy I'm gon' flame ya
Empty bars in your hand, wearin' a long face
Lift up your chin and point your nose at the sky
When you see Lil' Ursa, know where you're facin'
The right of your shoulder's where the Sun raises
That Light of the Desert right in your face
Will show you who you are
If ever you're lost, stand among the stars
[Refrain]
That's what we got told
Before we got old
When his wings broke
She didn't eat til he got home with the stars
Sing me a song from the Milky Way
That's what we got told
Before we got old
Til her wings broke
Not gonna wait til she's not home with the stars
I'd steal the Moon if you fly away
When the Sun is low and twilight rolls through....
