Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold fire
You've got everything but cold fire
You will be my rest and peace, child
I moved up to take a place near you
[Verse 1]
So tired
It's the sky that makes you feel tried
It's a trick to make you see wide
It can all but break your heart in pieces
[Chorus]
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you move is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
[Verse 2]
One day
Though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
[Chorus]
Staying back in your memory
Are the movies in the past
How you move is all it takes
To sing a song of when I loved
The prettiest star
[Verse 3]
One day
Though it might as well be someday
You and I will rise up all the way
All because of what you are
The prettiest star
