Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Our heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair²

Hearts are achin’, feelin’ like screamin’
The music’s fleein’ this old cold world

Bells should be ringing this sad, sad news³

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

While Death carries another legend away 

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Lent to us we forgot, now lifted high

Frey-man took flight to join heaven’s band

Soaring with a billion stars all around¹

The music shimmers in every star we see

Gives him wings to climb high and far

Nothing made him turn around and stay⁴

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Frey-man gave us the best of his music⁵

Singin’ the vict’ry song, he’s already gone⁸

And we just can’t hide our cryin’ eyes⁶

We’ll dance to remember, Won’t ever forget⁷

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

As Death carries another legend away

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever

Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives

Flyin’ with a billion stars all around¹

An Eagle soars to join the Starman

they come in threes, and there have been such a bunch of celebrities lately...perhaps there will be another rocker?

so sad, they were so young...and gave us so much great music---this is a really excellent poem of tribute to both frey and bowie...they are both soaring above, now.

You are becoming a legend of poetry as you write a tribute and praiseworthiness to him. Nostalgic but wonderful...:)..............

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. Honestly, just as with Bowie, once the songs were running through my head, the words of this lyric were already there waiting to be penned.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. You are welcome...:)..................

[MomzillaNC]

Hard to believe isn't it. this is a wonderful fitting tribute to a legend. Makes me ache to read it, but I'm glad you wrote it just the same.

[MomzillaNC]

I pray I won’t be inspired to write another any time soon. I’m not fond of weeping as I write.

a grand tribute written for Bowie and Frey..two great talents gone but not forgotten..R.I.P. Rock Stars

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you very much.

[Woody]

another excellent tribute Momzilla. you are so good at this but I do hope that you won't have to make another one for years to come. there have been so many to leave us in 2015 and 2016 and I'm not counting the ones from my part of the world. you'd be surprised.

[MomzillaNC]

Me too. I’m not fond of weeping as I write. And, Thank you.

[Carolynn]

What a wonderful tribute! We will all miss the Frey-man! Thanks for sharing this - his star will shine on for eternity!

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you.
