"Shooting Star" Revisited

Bob Dylan's "Shooting Star" (c) 1989 Special Rider Music (Jim's adaptation, summer 2005)

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you.
You're trying to break into a world
You never knew.
I wonder each night
If you'll make it through.
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of you.

Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.
If can become, if I can be strong
As you need me to be.
Will I miss the mark,
Trip at the starting line?
These things, only the Lord can see.
Seen a shooting star tonight
And I thought of me.

(bridge)
I listen to my heart, I listen to my friends
I read your letters, and I melt in your hands.
I pray for guidance, I pray to be wise
But it's up to us, we've got to decide,
Is our future together,
Or nine time zones apart?
Do I only need money, or some new strength in my heart?

Seen a shooting star tonight
Fade Away.
I grabbed for it's dream
And used it to pray.
For the courage to bring us, through this wilderness.
Seen a shooting star tonight
Slip Away.
