We Let the Stars Go (Remastered)

We Let the Stars Go (Remastered) - Prefab Sprout

There was a girl I used to know

She'd tease me about my name

Fan the embers long enough

I sometimes catch her flame

The soothing voice of distance tells me

"That was just a fling"

Other music fills my ears

But I still hear her sing

She sings

"Paddy Joe say Paddy Joe

Don't you remember me "

Long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Paddy Joe say Paddy Joe

Don't you remember me

Long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go free

There was a boy I used to be

I guess that he was cold

If she came to buy him now

How cheaply he'd be sold

But the light is gone and it is dark

What used to be the sky

Is suddenly embarrassing

To the naked eye

You see

Paddy Joe see Paddy Joe

Can't face this memory

Long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Paddy Joe see Paddy Joe

Can't face this memory

Long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Long ago one gorgeous night

We let the stars go

Long ago one stupid night

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free

We let the stars go free
