Ideas Are Like Stars - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]

Today Joseph is sitting alone [00:00:01]

With occassional nods to the waitress [00:00:05]

She tops off his cup while she's snapping her gum [00:00:10]

Making her rounds on the lunch shift [00:00:15]

And counting out coins he leaves them arranged [00:00:20]

In neat lines and circles and arcs [00:00:25]

She just stares at the tip that spells out her name [00:00:30]

Ideas are like stars [00:00:36]

And yesterday pedalling down 4th avenue [00:00:50]

Between the stalls and the bookshops [00:00:55]

The sepia tones of a lost afternoon [00:01:00]

Cradled a curio storefront [00:01:05]

And inside the air was thick with the past [00:01:10]

As the dust settled onto his heart [00:01:15]

And here for a moment is every place in the world [00:01:20]

Ideas are like stars [00:01:26]

They fall from the sky they run round your head [00:01:30]

They litter your sleep as they beckon [00:01:35]

They'd teach you to fly without wires or thread [00:01:40]

They promise if only you'd let them [00:01:45]

For the language of longing never had words [00:01:50]

So how did you speak from your heart [00:01:55]

Yet here is a box that swears it has heard that [00:02:01]

Ideas are like stars [00:02:06]

Tonight Joseph stood out in the yard [00:02:47]

As Debussy played from the kitchen [00:02:52]

His celestial companions 'til morning's first light [00:02:57]

Shone overhead and he listened [00:03:02]

And who was that shadow there by the gate [00:03:07]

Who was that there standing guard [00:03:12]

It was only loneliness and lonliness waits [00:03:17]

Ideas are like stars [00:03:24]

Ideas are like stars[00:03:28]
