Stars in Hawaii
Words and music © Paul Nash 2005
They're still crystal clear,
Those times when we kissed all
Fear away
So you'll understand
Why I still think of what we planned
On a distant day?
I know we'll never
See the stars in Hawaii
Or surf on forever
On a dream-wave, you know why…
Rainbows led me on
And your sparkling laughter
Till the rain was gone
Then the desert came after.
It got left behind
That loving blue-sky day,
Like those things they find
When they dig a new highway
But my memory flies on
Searching, never landing
Beyond the horizon
To where you are standing
B
Sometimes in a dream
The clouds blow away
And the stars seem to guide me
To that shore
But I wake and the beach is just a floor
And you're not beside me…
There is no road back,
Just a moment of flying,
Like the shining track
Of a shooting star dying
How will it turn out,
The end of our story –
Break up and burn out
Or shine on in glory?

Verse
So I take my leave
Down that same old road;
Distance can deceive
[How] But those green hills glowed.
Bridge
Thinking of you but travelling alone
Nearly turned my heart to stone;
There at my side like a ghostly bride
You kept me for your own.
Walk another mile
Trying not to turn;
Paint on a new smile, [oh yeah,]
Stay bright, but don't burn.
Lady at her door
Watching her last day;
One look then no more,
Life took me away.
The same sun shone through you
All those lonely days;
And now it's shining through
My dreams like x-rays.
Bridge 2
Closing the door, walking out in the light
I forget you a while and I can live
Till I'm adrift on the waves of the night,
Then I ask how much more I can give.
So I take my leave
Of time and sense and joy,
Of love I still believe
Nothing could destroy.
I drink to your charms
And love in your eyes
Though you left my arms
Like a deer that flies.
So I take my leave
Down that same old road;
Distance can deceive
But how those green hills glowed.
