The Stars in Arizona:

.

.

I'm singing softly, it's 2 am
The clock shows 11 in Phoenix
Can you see the stars in Arizona tonight?
Are they as bright as you imagined?

I thought I'd see you more this year
Seeing as how we're neighbors and all
But you're a ghost of the girl I knew last May...
It's been over sixteen months now...

(I'm not the one, who makes you blush anymore...)

(Chorus)
The Canyon lays,
By your side,
The weary rest,
In spite of me.
This issues done
It's put to bed,
The desert sleeps,
With you tonight...

I always wear my heart on my sleeve
But my pulse was pounding in my fingers
When I learned what you were doing late at night
It's always 2 am inside my head, and insomnia's the standard

(I'm not the one who brings you warmth anymore...)

(Chorus)
The Canyon lays,
By your side,
The weary rest,
In spite of me.
This issues done
It's put to bed,
The desert sleeps,
With you tonight...

I was waiting for you to come home
But I guess you never planned to...
Cause the stars just aren't as bright
On the Eastern side of the sky

(Bridge)
Where has the time gone?
We're not kids anymore...
This issues done
It's gone away so quickly...
Along the way we faltered
We've both had failures:
But you're my biggest yet,
And I can never win you back,

(Cause I'm not the one, who melts your heart this time,)

(Fading Chorus)
((The desert sleeps,))
((With you tonight...))
The Canyon lays,
By your side,
The weary rest,
In spite of me.
This issues done
It's put to bed,
(This issues done)
(It's gone away...)
The desert sleeps,
With you tonight...
(The desert sleeps,)
(With you tonight...)
The desert sleeps with you...
