Another Wish Upon a Star

The intoxicating smell of cigarettes Electric sounds of your fingers against the guitar Looking into the glass in my hands The swirling liquid like golden lights on a dark night Words & giggles, laughter and silliness This isn't me, not what I do Good Sense, to thee I bid adieu Take another sip to wash away any regrets Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight Looking up at the sky wistfully I wish I may, I wish I might, Oh please, make my wish come true tonight Light breeze, curtain aflutter I gaze out the window, singing to myself Sometimes wishes made upon a star Do see the light of day Dream or drunken mistake or worse, neither Now, awake and aware, befriending Nonchalance Unwinding, like a stuck cassette, Dim and hazy, that night I cannot forget Detailed and clear – the memory I just don’t want to forget But that's all it'll remain It'll be a secret, between Silence and I
