Come Back, Little Star Lyrics by Patterson Hood

Heat Lightning Rumbles in the Distance

2012

[Verse 1]
Heaven-blue eyes
Those long black lashes
A razor tongue and southern drawl
Pouring out like molasses
A trail of silver mercury
To show us all what you’ve seen
You always had a drink in your hand
But your liver ain’t what it used to be
[Verse 2]
I’m not really mad
Mean, I’m trying hard to understand
We both had these dreams too long
To let them slip through your hands
I’ve got a drink or two myself
To control the sting
This town got blown to tatters
When you traded in your wheels for wings
[Chorus]
Baby, don’t go
Come back, little star, and take me with you in the night
Exploding in the sky
Casting shadows in the light
Baby don’t go, take me with you
All these journeys and plans we could share
Or will the dreams we made together
Leave me lying lonely here?
[Verse 3]
Lying lonely here
Broken shutters flapping in the rain
The wind’s crying lonesome breeze
Oak trees snapping from the strain
I just wanna stay
In that better time and place
Chasing bugs in your granny’s yard
Before you disappeared into time and space
[Chorus]
Baby, don’t go
Come back, little star, and take me with you in the night
Watching everyone we know
Moving slow together as their dreams take flight
Baby don’t go, take me with you
We could chase down the sunrise or disappear
Make some wishes, join together
I could wish to have you here
[Refrain]
I could wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
I could wish to have you here
