Gene Clark Shooting Star Lyrics

Shooting Star Lyrics

You were born into the storm 
B 
Cast adrift upon a wave 
F#m A E 
To be living and make life begin 
 
Like the ancient mystic ship 
Bounding seaward toward the sun 
Becomes a cosmic dancer in the wind 
 
Stars that shine and rains that swirls 
Sparkling sands of endless worlds 
Driven by the thought that men are free 
 
Love that makes and breaks a man 
Memories fade and new ones stand 
And another ship bounds through the sea 
 
A C#m 
Like in dreams sometimes it`s so confusing to change 
A 
When you move from where you have been 
B C#m 
To where you have come 
A C#m 
Like in life when you look in to a child`s eyes 
A 
They see it`s all very clear 
B E 
It`s near and then gone 
 
Before the rising of the sun 
Before the whirling winds were stirred 
Before the simple rhymes of men were sung 
 
Before the age of hate and pride 
Before we laughed, before we cried 
We were all contained and then begun
