[Intro] Dust on the dash and more Radio crackles, crack of a screen door When the power goes out and the house gets still Something up above stays moving, sure and real [Verse 1] I was parked by the county line, hood up in the cold Truck, half a tank of old The whole town folded up by nine, not much left to say Then that black sky opened wide and took the gauge away I could see the cedar trees Could see my own breath Thought I knew this back road like the lines in my hand Then the dark went and showed me all I didn't understand [Chorus] Stardust in the darkness, little silver sparks Way out cutting through the black Makes a man feel small, makes a man stand still Like the whole wide world is breathing on the hill Stardust in the darkness, hanging there so high Like somebody scattered hope across the sky [Verse 2] Cassiopeia from the swing Nothing else will sing Now I'm driving home at midnight Got the jukebox in my head and the gravel popping light
