You used to call me Starshine
I used to wonder why.
I used to call you Moonshine, now I
See the reason I
Got so drunk off words you spoke I
nearly went blind.
Now and then see you pretend
through misty foggy eyes
That time the wind and us the dust
swept up away and off.
Nothing left where nothing was
swept up away and off.
(you know)
I could never lie when I was
staring at your curls.
Cashing in those empty bottles
just to buy you pearls.
I drank 'em first but there's no thirst
quite like the one you left me with.
Always parched, and never quenched until
I find you in a fifth.
I used to call you Moonshine
Now you're whiskey, bourbon, rye.
You used to call me Starshine
and I still wonder why.
