A Star Below The Moon
Lyrics by Kathleen Dunbar and Joseph Feusi

verse
there’s a star below the moon
it’s the first one of the night
do you wish upon that star?
oh I know I wish you might

the moon shines on alone
wrapped in the velvet sky
is your wish the same as mine?
do you also sadly sigh?

I’m only famous in the mirror
that’s the clown who knows me best
all the jests and aches and lonely hours
and a love that’s unexpressed

I thought I’d hid my heart
it’s what only angels see
then across the crowded room
oh the angel came to me

musical interlude

a circus leaving town
a bad dream burned to ash
all the colors smudged and cold
all the music sad and brash

then a single note of gold
ringing through the night
the moment when you spoke my name
and you made the world right

a room is just a room my love
then you suddenly arrive
every time you look at me
it is such a sweet surprise

the circle of our arms
is not one we will undo
since you tugged the ribbon tight
and whispered keep me close to you

bridge
storm and dark is how it starts
ends in rainbow, breaks your heart
we found a pot of gold long overdue
no matter that there’s thunder dear
it’s warm rain that we’re under here
the sky is blue cuz baby I got you

verse
I’d given up on love
left the key inside the drawer
like a house alone and dark
no one lives there anymore

I thought love had passed me by
and joy was only brief
pleasure just a fleeting thing
and sadness such a thief

oh we don’t lose our youth my sweet
it’s just a place that we pass through
the moon will shine when we are old
and it will find me close to you

there’s a star below the moon
we’ll remember when we see
the wonder of the love we found
when our sweet dream came to be

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
