Seen a Shooting Star Tonight

Forums:

Stepped out to have a smoke, and one fell from above right where I was looking at the western sky. A short streak, but notable all the same. First of the summer.

There was a cool fireball over Idaho a few days ago;

In the right place at the right moment!

And I thought of you

Here's a song Hunter penned about Jerry called Falling Stars

So many falling stars
Can’t find the one i drop’t
It slipped out of my fingers
And fell into the sky

Can’t tell one from another
A tiny streak of light
Exactly like its brother
Winks out inside the night

An angel might have caught it
Put it in her pocket
Or wore it as a locket
That falling star of mine
----------------------
So many shooting stars
For dreams to ride upon
Don’t have too many wishes
Just to stay awake ‘til dawn

Go looking in the meadow
For the star that i call mine
I can tell it by the color
Can tell it by the shine

An angel might have caught it
Put it in her pocket
Or wore it as a locket
That falling star of mine
----------------------------
This one looks just like it
Except the shade of blue
A little dark for mine, that’s why
I’m giving it to you

I found someone else’s star
Mistook it for my own
Dreamed it for a little while
Then sent it packing home

So many falling stars
Can hardly see the sky
Everybody’s got one
You do, and so have i

Careful how you treat them
One day they’ll be gone
A shooting star is born to fall
And not live on and on
. . .and on and on and on
An angel might have caught it
Put it in her pocket
Or wore it as a locket
That falling star of mine
-------------------------------
It’s our little secret
Find it where you seek it
Angels don’t have falling stars
But go ahead and keep it

Take it back on up with you
Where it first fell from
Under its own power
Right on out of kingdom come

I know an angel caught it
Put it in her pocket
I know an angel caught it
That falling star of mine

Falling star of mine
That falling star of mine
Falling star of mine
That falling star of mine

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you
You're tryin' to break into another world
A world I never knew
I always kinda wondered
If you ever made it through
Seen a shootin' star tonight
And I thought of you

Seen a shootin' star tonight
And I thought of me
If I was still the same
If I ever became
What you wanted me to be
Did I miss the mark
Overstep the line
That only you could see
Seen a shooting star tonight

And I thought of me

Listen for the engine
Listen for the bell
As the last fire-truck from hell
Goes rollin' by
All good people are prayin'
It's the last temptation
The last account
Last time you might hear

The sermon on the mount
Last Radio is playin'

Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip away
Tomorrow will be
Another day
Guess it's too late to say the things to you
You needed to hear me say
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip away

nature is magic
