Dark Star

To the tune of Dark Star by Crosby. Stills and Nash

From Lane to Sulu

Forgive me if my fantasies might seem a little shopworn
I'm sure you've heard it all before. I wonder what's the right form
Love songs written for you been going down for years
But to sing what's in my heart seems more honest than the tears
I am curious, don't want to hurry us, I'm intrigued with us
Ain't this song a bust. I don't care, dark star

I met you several years ago
The times they were so strange, but I had a feeling
You looked into my eyes just once
An instant flashing by that we were stealing
Another time you felt so bad
And I wasn't any help at all as I recall
We didn't quite know what to do so we left the wanting be
Still there for me and you

Dark star, I see you in the morning
Dark star, sleeping next to me
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star

It's easy to be with you
Even with the storms that rage beneath your search for peace
We must make some time together
Take my ship and find a world that's ours to keep
Now you've got me dreaming
It's been so long I thought that I'd forgotten how
My heart is once again my soul
We touched, we did, you know we did, no more teasing now

Dark star, I see you in the morning
Dark star, sleeping next to me
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star

Dark star, I see you in the morning
Dark star, sleeping next to me
Dark star, let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star

Let the memory of the evening
Be the first thing that you think of
When you open up your smile and see me, dark star
