If I'd predicted how this would go
It never would've turned out right
Racing through a silent picture show
Bleeding out in black and white
When that movie man first appeared
With his black hat and villain's laugh
His tales of Pickford, Bow, and Shearer
Were just more than she could stand
I heard the moon cry please don't go
Cradled by the blackened night
I tore these words from a hole in my soul
Before she said goodbye
If you need me again, you know right where I'll be
I'm the smoke behind your eyes when you dream
I'm the heat of the sun in the summer streets
The clouds in the sky will turn to ash at your feet
Before you lose my love
Hollywood said she'd be a star
Knowing it was never true
Their dirty money only went so far
Before myths drifted out of view
They said she left everything behind
As if she left it for a friend
Sometimes there's more room in the sky
Than the smallest stars can comprehend
She sent a letter just before the end
Postmarked somewhere on the coast
I heard myself reading words I'd said
In the writing of a ghost
If you need me again, you know right where I'll be
I'm the smoke behind your eyes when you dream
I'm the heat of the sun in the summer street
The clouds in the sky will turn to ash at your feet
Before you lose my love
