Northern Star Lyrics
Northern star,
It'll be my guide,
The Southern Cross, and it's promises, fall behind.
Smokestack Lightning on the dial,
Lights of Tampa come into view,
See the oil fields burn,
Burned away, memories of you.
Stars shine, linger in the dawn
Moon and I, tryin' to hold on
Tryin' to hold on,
Tryin' to hold on.
A late night diva,
Promises a brand new day,
She sings "Sun will rise,
Chase this darkness away"
Hear the words grow faint,
Falling out of range,
There's more truth in this static,
Than the beating of the rain.
Stars shine, linger in the dawn
Moon and I, tryin' to hold on
Stars shine, linger in the dawn
Moon and I, tryin' to hold on
Don't you go, don't you go
(Stars shine, linger in the dawn)
Don't you go, don't you go
Don't you go, don't you go
(Moon and I, tryin' to hold on)
Don't you go, don't you go
Tryin' to hold on
It'll be my guide,
The Southern Cross, and it's promises, fall behind.
Lights of Tampa come into view,
See the oil fields burn,
Burned away, memories of you.
Moon and I, tryin' to hold on
Tryin' to hold on,
Tryin' to hold on.
Promises a brand new day,
She sings "Sun will rise,
Chase this darkness away"
Falling out of range,
There's more truth in this static,
Than the beating of the rain.
Moon and I, tryin' to hold on
Stars shine, linger in the dawn
Moon and I, tryin' to hold on
(Stars shine, linger in the dawn)
Don't you go, don't you go
Don't you go, don't you go
(Moon and I, tryin' to hold on)
Don't you go, don't you go
Tryin' to hold on

So, it says that I have edited the lyrics, but lists none of my edits. The listed lyrics are horribly wrong.
For those that have discovered this beautiful piece of art and are wondering about the "incomprehensible" parts, and the parts that are just plain wrong in the above lyrics, look below for the actual lyrics. As for meaning, imagine driving out of southern Florida, driving away from a broken relationship, through the wee hours of the night, picking up radio stations on the way, trying to convince yourself that you will be just fine, even if the tearful eyes you see in your rearview mirror may tell you otherwise...but, there's a voice coming to you through your speakers in the middle of the dark night telling you "Oooh child, things are gonna get easier..."
