A Man Without a Star
by Stephen A.J. Duffy, 1993, EMI/Parlophone
found on the 4 track CD single "Natalie"


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 at the precinct
I 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
And casts his net again

I walked away and I started to dream of Elysium
Reality dwindled the real world escaped me
Who can relate to another mans 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.
