New Star Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hung pictures of you from every lamppost in town
As the humidity climbed into numbers I don't care to repeat
The air was heavy and the sky was alive
And the Pacific Starlight train wasn't due in till 11:45

[Chorus]
I thought about how cold you must be

I thought of you up in Canada
As the lightning storms lit up all downtown Redding

[Verse 2]
There were teenagers in mini-trucks coming around every corner
You can taste the adrenaline coming out through their skin
I came to the well-lit doorway of a sheet music store
Saw my face in the glass, sat down in the doorway and I settled in

[Chorus]
I thought about how cold you must be
I thought about things I thought that I'd soon be forgetting
I thought of you up in Canada
As the lightning storms lit up all downtown Redding
