How Many Stars? - Mekons

Captain, captain, tell me true

Does my sweet William ride with you?

Oh, no, fair maid, he don’t ride here

He’s lost out in the dark, my dear

She drove her car back into town

It seemed to all she’d broke her heart

She called for a chair to sit her down

Pen and ink, she wrote it down

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?

Father, father, dig my grave

For I am pickled, I am done

Upon my hand, a velvet glove

To show them all I died for love

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?

How many stars are out tonight?

How many stars?

How many stars?
