Song About a Star Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Samas 

Cover art for Song About a Star lyrics by Okkervil River

yeah, i agree with everyone above. this is an awesome song! (in fact, the whole album is awesome) but i cant help drawing comparisons between the lines

Think you see him? He’s not there, that’s just light that’s not yet dead. Wait two hours and watch what’ll be there instead.

and the lyrics written by Bright Eyes in the song 'We Are Nowhere And It's Now' when he sings:

Stars that clear, have been dead for years, but the idea, just lives on.

i dont know why, it just pops up in my head everytime i hear thie okkervil river song!
