Chip Of A Star Lyrics

Chatham County Line Chip Of A Star

Take the chip of a star and you hit it with an iron bar
And when its broken in two – you’ve made the eyes for you
Take the song from a bird and you turn it to words And
when you’re through – you’ve found a voice for you Like a
song on the wind – My beautiful friend Take the coat of a
tree – Autumn’s fallen leaves Weave them gold and fair –
and that is your hair Take the pale of the moon, dip into
it with a spoon Touch the earth again and that is your
skin Come to me again – My beautiful friend For you were
born when the world first turned The flames flickered and
the first fires burned You are the phoenix and the
heavens clear Let you be mine and I’ll call you dear Take
the clouds from the sky and the sun shone bright Shape
them with a file and that is your smile Take the heat of
the earth when the mountains burst Put it in a mold and
your heart you’ll hold Like a song on the wind – my
beautiful friend Together to the end, My beautiful friend
