Lyrics

WRITTEN IN THE STARS
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

I don’t care if no one wants us
I don’t care what people think about us
As long as we’re together
We’ll be happy to the letter
It’s not important we’ve got no money in the bank
We’ve got no one to thank for that but ourselves

What if we grow old and grey
Like everyone around us said we would
Our parent’s warnings crashing all around us
Like so much driftwood
Well at least we’ll have the memories of a lifetime
Never having to think twice I’m sure of that

Well I wonder if it’s all been planned
By a greater power than me
If we live or die, if we’re rich or poor
Is it written in the stars?
Well if that’s the case and we can’t erase
The things that are to be
Then I won’t ask why, I won’t ask for more
Than what’s written in the stars

Time will tell us if we’ve done wrong
We may live to hear the swan song
Ringing in our ears forever
Long beyond the twelfth of never
On the other hand we might just get it right
But either way the guiding light will be our love

Billy Carl Mancini vocals, acoustic & electric guitars, Hofner bass,
Dominica, suitcase, plywood, dehumidifier / Ruby Bird vocals, accordion,
piano, tambourine / Larry Harvey drums, shaker, cabasa
