Chasing After Starlight

She wakes up every morning early
And stumbles off to face the world again
Puts on her face and doesn't worry
She hopes before the day is done
Today she might just find someone to love, hmm

She's only living in a dream
She knows just what it means
Chasing after starlight
But long ago she knew someone
Now those days are gone
And all that's left are lonely nights

It's after work she doesn't hurry
Before she heads along into the night
The hours are long she needs the money
'Cause she's saving for a holiday
If she can find someone to go away with her, hmm

She's only living in a dream
She knows just what it means
Chasing after starlight
And long ago she knew someone
Now those days are gone
And all that's left are lonely nights

She's only living in a dream
She knows just what it means
Chasing after starlight
And long ago she knew someone
Now those days are gone
And all that's left are lonely nights
