she shines so bright, compass, 2011

one bright star fell from the sky
four feet warmed by the campfire
tall cold glasses of chardonnay
and big cigar for us to share

she shines so bright
the moth couldn't really fight
guided by a wind divine
he gave himself the count of five

some days into the month of may
the sun was hot that day
extra oil to burn that tan
our painted toes in the soft beach sand

she shines so bright
the moth couldn't really fight
floating on a wind divine
he gave himself the count of five

living a bit like john and yoko
coffee in bed, kisses to follow
peaceful sleep with fancy dreams
this is the way love's supposed to be

she shines so bright
the moth couldn't win that fight
guided by a wind divine
he gave himself the count of five

she shines so bright
the moth couldn't really fight
floating on a wind divine
he gave himself the count of five
