Meredith Moon - Starcrossed

“Starcrossed”

You say we ain’t no Romeo and Juliette
Well you’re right, I guess
We ain’t star-crossed, we’re just lost
And it’s been so long that I forgot

And I ain’t saying that I agreed
Before your words came to me
Across an ancient sea
But it ain’t poetry if it ain’t easy

So seven years of holy lights and dreamy midsummer nights
Were just part of a story Shakespeare forgot to write
But I don’t need a knight or an army to fight
And I’ll be alright

And if I ever find the reasons behind my pain
Babe, I’ll call you again
In mountain time

Where the freight trains ring like choirs
From Winlaw to the Okanagan fires
Great lovers have their day
And love don’t last forever anyway
