Astra
Lyrics and Music by Kelly Cate

Outside, the rain is falling
I’m packing up his clothes
Where all this is going,
I don’t know

He says that he will meet me
Somewhere in east L.A.
But right now, L. A. seems so
Far away.

The moon is big
And the sky is so dark
And I need to make a wish
But I’m out of stars.

I’m in my Thunderbird and
I’m crossing the Great Plains,
But they don’t seem so great
When you’re out of place.

I see the tribal nations
On their reservations
But I’ve got reservations
Of my own

Chorus:
I met him at the river,
I was wanting something bigger
Than that little town would
Ever grow.
He said that he could make me
Into something pretty.
He showed me things I’d never
Seen before.
I don’t want to see no more.

The desert night is cold and
The payphone smells like beer.
He said his agent thinks he’s
The one this year.

Then he says he’s sorry,
He says her name is Skye.
He says he never meant to
Make me cry.

The moon is big
And the sky is so dark
And I need to make a wish
But I’m out of stars.

Chorus
