Gnostic Serenade
(Esther Ofarim, 1972)
(written by Bill Hawkins)

Esther Ofarim in London
buy it here!

And finally we are as the times are 
We meet to part and go our separate ways
And I am trapped on this crazy star 
I've been a prisoner all of my days 

Once we were young and we laughed a lot 
and happiness wasn't peculiar like today 
But I would give you everything you think I've got 
Just to prove that it needn't remain this way 

Don't let the tears fall from your eyes 
if you can't make it I'll find some other way 
And try to be like the stars up in the sky 
and shine on nothing, wait to the end of the day.

And try to be like the stars up in the sky 
and shine on nothing, wait to the end of the day.
