Prefab Sprout We Let The Stars Go Lyrics

There was a girl I used to know
She'd tease me about my name
Fan the embers long enough
I sometimes catch her flame

The soothing voice of distance tells me
"That was just a fling"
Other music fills my ears
But I still hear her sing

She sings:
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me?
(How)
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go

Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Don't you remember me?
(How)
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go free

There was a boy I used to be
I guess that he was cold
If she came to buy him now
How cheaply he'd be sold

But the light is gone and it is dark
What used to be the sky
Is suddenly embarrassing
To the naked eye

You see:
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Can't face this memory
(How)
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go

Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Can't face this memory
(How)
Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go

Long ago one gorgeous night
We let the stars go
Long ago one stupid night
We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free
We let the stars go free
We let the stars go free
We let the stars go free
