It started to rain as I reached   For your hand in the precinct   If you need reassurance:   I love you, I need you   But don't be afraid if your life   Isn't going the way that you want it      Then she turned and said "You're a dreamer   An underachiever, a might have been"   Man without a star      Stunned by her outburst   I let go her hand in the precinct   I've tried very hard not to deceive you   I've written of love as it is, as I know it   (So much for writing)      The threatening page, the words of love in writing   Somehow they seem binding, almost afraid   Man without a star      Ideas translated into music   And lost in translation what I meant to say    The sentimental chastised dreamer sighs   Rubs his eyes, casts his nets again      I walked away and I started   To dream of Elysium   Reality dwindled, the real world escaped me   Who can relate to another man’s fate?   We're alone in our quandary      A vesper song swung out of the cloisters   Sliding down the banisters, the mystery   Man without a star
