Verse
Jimmy took a lightning ride
Across a cold and lonely sky
Where he went to, who can say
Passed right through the Milky Way
Mother's looking through the glass
As the constellations pass
Waiting for her boy to call
Waiting for his star to fall
Chorus
(She's)
Waiting for his star to fall
Waiting for his star to fall
Verse
Annie hitched her hem up high
Climbed a ladder to the sky
One more sunspot on the sun
One more daughter on the run
Mum and Dad keep talking through
Things they did and didn't do
Searching through the lines she wrote
Searching through the telescope
Chorus
Waiting for her star to fall
Waiting for her star to fall
Instrumental
Verse
You've been gone for twenty years
Just walked out and disappeared
When we meet we talk of you
Any word or any news
I keep looking for your face
Every street and market place
Guess you took a lightning ride
Across a cold and lonely sky
Chorus
Waiting for your star to fall
Waiting for your star to fall
Waiting for your star, near or far
Waiting for your star to fall
