she was by the window reading
another hopeful needing
that one big break
so i asked to sit and she let me
i'd make her not forget me
i was in love with her face
she said she had come from places unknown
to throw her dice and let 'em count
and find her place in stardust town
the sun was chased away by rain
i ordered some champaign
i would ask her name
but when i turned back she was gone
like the disappearing sun
in the gathering gray
a ran to the street, looked west then looked east
i ran up the avenue and then back down
she was on her way to stardust town
a year went by and another one right behind
and all the while i kept in my mind her face
hoping i would see her on the street
and ask her to escape with me
then i saw her face again
in an advertisement
for a hit broadway show
so i went to see her dance
and reconstruct an interrupted romance
the curtain dropped and i pushed through the mob
by the time i reached her door the lights were out
she was on her way to stardust town
she found her place in stardust town
