Jesse don’t turn away from me
Let me see your eyes
I’ve been looking for something to believe
Searching day and night

Jesse wake up it’s time to leave
The bags are by the door
With a picture torn from some magazine
Another dream we can’t afford

Don’t it feel like life is just a lonely melody?
Like every single passing moment plays across your silver screen
How serene
Oh but wherе’d you learn to shake your tambourine?
I’vе known it forever
That’s part of the deal

I go reaching for a star
Over and over again
I never get that far
But I can pretend baby

I go reaching for a star
Tangerine and clover
But it’s only in my heart

Jesse don’t take that tone with me
Don’t you know there’s nowhere left to go?
And you can’t outrun your history
Or all these voices on the radio

Ooh they tell me

Life is just a lonely waking dream
It seems like every single passing moment plays across your silver screen
How serene
If I could only shake your tambourine
But I know you would never
And that’s alright by me

I go reaching for a star
Over and over again
I never get that far
But I can pretend

I go reaching for a star
Tangerine and clover
But it’s only in my heart
