Shivering under a blanket of stars a family that has lost everything searches for hope Shivering under a blanket of stars a distressed man roams familiar streets. Tie loosened, and head spinning, an angry wife waiting at home Shivering under a blanket of stars a young couple lingers at the end of a driveway past curfew fingers are entwined, and hearts beginning to race Shivering under a blanket of stars a forgotten man takes his last breath of air, his mind too empty to carry on Shivering under a blanket of stars I lay with my father counting stars, our laughter running away from us as it bounces off the trees

Shivering Under A Blanket of Stars
Shivering under a blanket of stars a family that has lost everything searches for hope Shivering under a blanket of stars a distressed man roams familiar streets. Tie loosened, and head spinning, an angry wife waiting at home Shivering under a blanket of stars a young couple lingers at the end of a driveway past curfew fingers are entwined, and hearts beginning to race Shivering under a blanket of stars a forgotten man takes his last breath of air, his mind too empty to carry on Shivering under a blanket of stars I lay with my father counting stars, our laughter running away from us as it bounces off the trees
