From the recording Acoustic Winter
Lyrics
Words and music by Michelle Malone
Fell like a burning, fell like a burning, fell like a burning star last night
If I could tell you, if I could tell you, if I could tell you wrong from right
I wanted you to want me so I couldn’t see that we did not belong
I felt relief and guilt and shame when I awoke to find that you were gone
Fell like a burning star last night
Fell like a burning star in flight
Fell like a burning star last night
never to arrive
I woke from falling, I woke from falling, I woke from falling in a dream
Woke up before I, woke up before I, woke up before I hit the street
Spread my wings like shattered dreams to catch the wind and ride it like a kite
Then the Panic settled in trespassing like a cloud into my light
Fell like a burning star last night
Fell like a burning star in flight
Fell like a burning star last night
never to arrive
Beyond the anger, beyond the regret, behold the rising tide today
Beyond the anger, beyond the regret, behold the rising tide
Fell like a burning star last night
Fell like a burning star in flight
Fell like a burning star last night
never to arrive
