ocean of stars
why've i gone so far?
i miss my home
i hear those engines drone
the runway is set
let's move this fucking jet
i have to go
despite all the sleet and snow
just a late night host leaving dallas
with a portrait done in velvet
just a three night run at the palace
and i've never in my life felt so alone
i worked for the show
stars would come and go
i worked the lights
i even swept some nights
but now i'm the host that's worthy of a toast
don't you agree my little honeybee
just a late night king leaving dallas
with a portrait done in velvet
just a three night run at the palace
i'll be at 17th and broadway by tonight
so far away from all these wonders
even as the roulette spins
i was escorted seventeen miles
came upon all winds bend
even in dreams of light
i can still hear her call through the tall grass and weeds
and i know i'll never be the same on this road to calvary
just a late night host leaving dallas
with a portrait done in velvet
just a three night run at the palace
and i never in my life felt so alone
and i never in my life felt so alone
