From the recording Falling Star: The Songs of Ben Schwartzman
Lyrics
Talk soft, breathe deep
Let me go back to sleep
I am a falling star
Burning bright wherever you are
Well, I was wrong and you were right
Now I can’t sleep at night
I was wrong and you were right
Now I can’t sleep at night
Take me by surprise
Let me help you close your eyes
Try to understand
I'm doing the best I possibly can
Well I was wrong, and you were right
Now I can’t sleep at night
I was wrong and you were right
Now I can’t sleep at night
People are dying just to live
Well I am living just to die
Take me home, make me yours
I will never make you cry
Ooh, yeah
Talk soft
Breathe deep
Let me go
