Solitary Star
I have been makin’ moves
off toward where you are
there's nothing more that I can do
but hold on to this lonely star
Hold on to what you got
it might be leaving
don't want to be caught
Something you might not understand
the way things run under the missing moon
the explanation is nothing if not off hand
there are no answers appearing soon
I'm leaving at dawn tomorrow
to see the world
by the light of that solitary star
Destinations get all confused
the way love lines leave you hanging
I'll get through – through to you
I'm leaving at dawn tomorrow
to see the world
by the light of that solitary star

Love the rawness of this, the guitar work especially. What Iove most about it is the unpretentious
Get right in, say what you have to say and zoom out.
I'd characterize this as low fi music. Like this alot. The slides are cool0 -
Kind comments - thank you.

Right in your sweet spot, style-wise! That raw edged blues that you do so well.
In terms of the lyric, "Solitary star" seems to play an important role. It doesn't across as any old star, but a specific one. But there's no explanation as to what that is, other than "solitary" implies leaving alone, and maybe loneliness. But that doesn't seem a likely guide towards finding the one you love. So I likely didn't understand the imagery.

Love this - it's like sitting on the porch listening to my Uncles play and try to outdo each other on the guitar. Well done Sir, well done.
