Story Behind The Song

A few years ago i gave up drinking and started focusing my energy on getting sober and following a spiritual path. i found my journey was tested in many ways especially by relationships.

Song Description

stars in the morning is about being torn between your lover and a way of life. it's about trying to decide between the physical and the spiritual. if you get involved you lose something within yourself. it's about walking away from desire

Stars in the morning

verse 1
there are candles alight and i know that she's lonely
with her hands by my thighs i can feel her hunger rising.
and i know i can stay and be with her this way
right through till morning but there's stars in the sky tonight
i feel like walking
verse 2
by the look in her eyes i can tell that she loves me,
i try to say i can't be near her today and she holds me
i'm walkin away, she begs me to stay and i'm swayed by her longing
but there's stars in the sky tonight,
i feel like walking.
chorus
and i'm torn between her and my endless search,
for stars in the morning
and i'm torn between her and my endless yearning
for life without wanting
and she knows when she dims the lights i'm blinded,
she knows cause it's her design
and she knows when she dims the lights i succumb to her desire.
verse 3
it's a matter of days and i'm back to this space and empty
i'm searching for ways to fill my daze now i'm hurting
the price to be paid the lesson to take is to hold onto nothing
i'll ride with the stars tonight and keep on walking
repeat chorus.
