Ian Hunter - The Ballad Of Little Star Lyrics
(ian hunter)You dont look a day over ten so why beDo you have to pretend to be older than you areBeads and mirrors by your bodyAnd in some roadside bar you feel the painLittle starLost on a merry go round, on the gameYou can never be found cause you dont know who you areThe reservation killed your nationAnd in some tourists car you feel the painLittle starYou know you knowWe grow and growWe never slowWe always winAnd you feel lostAnd you feel crossedAnd you feel tossedJust like the windYour father will have told you of the windBowed those fine heads that, once proud, roamed the plainsThey sought nothing to gain til our fathers civilisedAnd broken hearted arrows roamed the skiesThen you were born to feel the painLittle starYou know you knowWe grow and growWe never slowWe always winAnd you feel lostAnd you feel crossedAnd you feel tossedJust like the windYou know you knowWe grow and growWe never slowWe always winAnd you feel lostAnd you feel crossedAnd you feel tossedJust like the windYour father will have told you of the wind
