The Party's Over

the bar is empty
an empty beer stands alone
on a vacant table
left by someone who's gone
the night is over
the morning has come
my eyes are weary
it's time to move on

i'm stone cold sober
as i look at the scene
like a thousand barrooms
that i've seen in my dreams
the party noises
have faded and gone
the party's over
it's time to move on

Where Did Your Star Go?

where did your star go?
at the end of the night
in the lightness of morning
does it still shine as bright?
do you feel like a stranger?
wherever you light
where did your star go?
at the end of the night

From Without

when will my lack of faith stop burning?
bridges that have yet to be found
voices in the dark that i'm not hearing
stop me in my tracks without a sound

if i will ever be more than i've been
somehow i must start myself again
leave behind the shackles of my doubt
and let the love come in from without
