Labelle - Phoenix (The Amazing Flight Of A Lone Star) lyrics

Dance the blues see how she dances
To bring us the news see how she dances
Ashes and news see how she dances
Rise from the blues

The amazing flight of a lone star
Just like heaven and hell reaches so very far
Wrapped up in pages of yesterday’s news
Sings with the devil and dances the blues
In her red dress, she dances the blues
Races the dawn to bring us the news
Now that I’m here, I’ll tell you the news
Come on, sing the news
We’ve all got to go like we’ve come
Before or after the sun
A single string guitar
Plays the amazing flight of a lone star
See how she dances ashes and news

You were tired of waiting in the shadows
Hiding thoughts of new ways in old Mason jars
Sweet on the edges but much more inside
Running in races, never using the prize
Now open your eyes (rise Phoenix) and
Dance the blues (rise Phoenix)
Now that I’m here I’ll tell you the news
Come on, sing the news

We’ve all got to go like we’ve come
Before or after the sun
And if you believe in the one
You'd be living the one life God’s given

We’ve all got to go like we’ve come
Before or after the sun

A single string guitar
Plays the amazing flight of a lone star

Then Phoenix then Phoenix
