Lyrics   status: confirmed

Here it comes again out of the rain
Seems to have a new kind of same
Been playin' on a simple ride
The sign comes alive and speaks the mind

It turns to me and it turns to gold
It turns to see the fast lane slow

It's been away too long
It's been away I'm gone
East coast and on
To the west star

Lookin' out I thought I saw you blink
Coming on to me like a silver eye

Pick it up and tune it on in
Head on out to western starland

It's been mad and gone
Now it's singing a song
Like a western star
It's going my way

Looking out I'm back in time to stay
Into the eastern sign away

It comes alive thru the clearer
The ghost arrives into your mirror

You've been away too long
It's been way too long
Eastern star is on
A disappearer
