The Tiger Lillies
Falling Star
So now someone is dying
When you see a star fall
It means that God in Heaven
For their soul has called
And so from all their fear and suffering
They are free
The match girl wondered
Could it be me

When you see a star falling
Falling from the sky
It means someone somewhere
They have died
And as the star does fall
Their soul does climb
And all of their suffering
Is from a passed time

So if you see a falling star
Her grandmother had said
It means a person somewhere
Has gone to join the dead
Their soul it goes to heaven
Heaven in the sky
Those they leave behind
Are all left to cry
But the Little Match girl knows
Only one for her cared
So now no more suffering
She has to bear
So the little match girl strikes a match
For a final time
To see the one whom
To her had been kind

When you see a falling star
Falling from the sky
It means that someone somewhere
They have died
