lyrics

Rodeo clown told me just what it takes
To face the beast when your courage breaks
Still gotta look him right in the eye
Bend him to your will then let him shoot straight on by

I don't know if it's near or far
My own road I will walk to the darkest star
And I don't care, a million miles away
To the darkest star I will make my way

Gypsy woman how do you feel
When your visions of destruction you see become real
Do you hideaway, shed tears out of sight
And then put on a brave face for the boardwalk crowds at night

I don't know if it's near or far
My own road I will walk to the darkest star
And I don't care, a million miles away
To the darkest star I will make my way

Gambler man tell me what do you bet
The prize is true understanding of the life you got left
Would you take a chance, risk beautiful things
For a shot at the mystery only the darkest star brings
The stargazer spoke as we looked up at night
The past it's a billion worlds overhead shining bright
Life it's out there, somewhere I'm sure
They deal with the same 'ol shit we deal with
Maybe even more

I don't know if it's near or far
My own road I will walk to the darkest star
And I don't care, a million miles away
To the darkest star I will make my way

I'm just a hitchhiker, what would you do
If you were cruisin' down the highway
Saw me waiting on you

I don't know if it's near or far
My own road I will walk to the darkest star
And I don't care, a million miles away
To the darkest star I will make my way
To the darkest star I will make my way
I will rock the darkest star

"Darkest Star" was sponsored by Wendy Critchley: 'What I liked about this song was that you can really hear your passion for the music come through. It's a great showcase of your voice and style.'
