"Starman" - Elsa Russo
I woke in the middle of night
Because I thought I heard a cry
Don’t
worry
It
was just a star exploding in the sky
I saw a snowy white owl on a traffic cam
And called out your name
You knew didn’t you?
Don’t
fret
It’s
just a gathering of the soul
I saw a jeweled skull
Held up in effigyI said, this will be the last we see of him
And you knew didn’t you?
Don’t
make a fuss
It
was our last debt that had to be paid
I whispered prayers over the dying
In rhyme and harmony
Never knowing that I was
Don’t
grieve for me
I
had the best time anyone ever could
I woke in the middle of the night
Because I thought I heard a hole punched through
the sky
Don’t
worry
It
was just a Starman returning home
