2020/09/13 ~ Stars On A Line

Cheyenne Seaman 2003 (Philadelphia)



I see the stars tonight.

Man, yeah, they're shining bright.

I can't do nothing but admire their beauty

As little specks that dot the sky look so free.

Aye, I see how they twinkle on high

Yet they twinkle beyond the reach of space and time.

I just want to reach and pluck one from the sky

And hang it on my own personal line.
