Under Cold Blue Stars - Josh Rouse

Under the cold blue stars

You would just stroll

Around the yard

That’s what happens to dreams

When the life strains

And the child lays in you

When you got old

You played guitar

In a little town

Your favorite bar

Just blowing the steam

Now the lights fade and

Everyone’s paid to see you

So did the farm

Steal your soul

When the cornfields won’t grow

Its time to leave

Now the heart bleeds

And the family leans on you

You were under the cold blue stars

In another town

Your favorite bar

That’s what happens to dreams

When the life strains

And the child lays in you
