Stars Fell on Alabama

[Verse 1: John Darnielle] You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk There were lazy kisses and hands brushing and small talk The moon was high, your smooth face was high And the kudzu grew [Chorus] And the stars fell on Alabama And your eyes filled up with light And the stars fell on Alabama [Verse 2] The warm earth underneath us gave way Dry grass crinkled like paper as the breeze came across the bay Cold clean water nearby glimmered in your eyes And your pistol glistened [Chorus] But if you think I'll take a bullet for you, you're dreaming
