Story Behind The Song
My uncle died and my father was ill so it was a reflective period and I alwys was a stargazer with my telescope when i was achild.
Song Description
Sitting on a wall at the back of my garden smoking a cigarette looking at the autumn night. The white smoke billows through the fir trees in the back garden, The Pleiades (a star constellation) shimmer on the midnight seas. This whole tranquil situation makes one think of the meaning of it all and materrial possesions have no value in this surround nor have they when death calls. A falling star lights up and I think of a wish . Would it be a record deal and all the material trappings of the recording world or for the greater good of the the world peace or maybe my sick father's health

Lyrics
STARGAZER
Summer days came to pass
The Pleiades shimmer on the Midnight seas
White Smoke Wanders through the evergreens
But if your world came crashing down
Would you be the one who loses out or
Are you the one that always plays it cool
Paradise was a dream shattered by the fading light the endless night
and all those pleasures you had in life are worthless in the end
So where will you be when your world comes to an end
I will be flying, this world ill transcend
I am the stargazer please take my hand
Autumn leaves and winter comes
A cold wing blows across my brow
Against a sky of black and blue
A falling star lights the night
If you had a wish and it came true
Would you ask for a better world or
Would you take it all for you
