"Star Boy" lyrics - BUFFY SAINTE-MARIE

First time I saw your face
I knew the languages I knew
Would never do for one like you: would they Baby?

Once a boy fell from a star
And he changed to who you are.
You didn't know I knew it: did you Baby?

I went home and wrote a book
About the way you look,
Or the way I see you.

I went home to dream a dream
About the way you seem,
Though I don't know you.

[Instrumental]

Once a boy fell from the sun
And he changed into someone
Who I remember.

He was something like yourself.
He got left upon the shelf
'Cause no one dared.

First time I saw your face
I knew the languages I knew
Would never do for one like you.

Baby Baby what do you say?
Do you think that there's a way
For me to know you?

[Instrumental]
