Starbird Road

If you love something, you should let it go

This is wise advice, I know

but my mind will wander where my feet can't go

a mile and a quarter down Starbird Road

I used to jump into fate's pocket recklessly

and the dreams flew up like dust on either side of me

On Starbird Road

the ebony night was broken by a yellow line

on Starbird Road

some trick of the light brings you shining back to mind,

can you take the road not taken, if you find you were mistaken long ago

and go down Starbird Road

If you love something don't hold on too tight

'cause the man who said "you can't go home again" was right

grey rain on the windshield and you in my mind

here I go drifting back to you tonight

And I wonder if you knew how much you meant to me

'cause you came along when I still believed in destiny

(Chorus)

There is a harvest moon

hung in a brittle sky

there is earth and apple cider

and a fire in your eyes

there's a candle in the window

there is a light outside your door

and I'm coming home to you

I'm coming home_____

to Starbird Road

If you love something, you should set it free

that's what i did and you came

back to me

and now I jump into fate's pocket recklessly

and the dreams fly up like dust

on either side of me

(Chorus 2x)

Music and lyrics by Megan Metcalfe

"Starbird Road"was the first single off my first album, which was released independently, titled, "Love Is An Outlaw", then rereleased by EMI music as simply, "Megan Metcalfe". We had a lot of success with the single here in Canada, going top ten, and the accompanying video went into heavy rotation as well. Now we are happily independent again, and "Starbird Road" remains one of my favorites of the songs I've written. Enjoy!
