Lyrics for Starry Eyes by Roky Erickson:

Starry Eyes, how can I get to you
My true little
Starry Eyes , what can I say or do
For you my little
Starry Eyes, Starry Eyes forever shall be mine

Starry Eyes what can I say
Starry Eyes, what can I do for your attention
Starry Eyes Starry Eyes forever shall be mine

When I’m alone, I hear and feel you
I wish that I could reach right out and touch you
but knowing you’re the one to greet me, and meet me
two alone in the dark, may you be

Starry Eyes, what can I say to make you listen
Starry Eyes what can I do for your attention
Starry Eyes, Starry Eyes forever shall be mine
Starry Eyes, Starry Eyes forever shall be mine
