"Benson Arizona" - theme from Dark Star
Music by John Carpenter
Lyrics by Bill Taylor
Vocals by John Yager
F
A million suns shine down
C
But I see only one
When I think I'm over you
F
I find I've just begun
A#
The years move faster than the days
There's no warmth in the light
C
How I miss those desert skies
A# F
Your cool touch in the night
CHORUS:
A# F Dm
Benson, Arizona, blew warm wind through your hair
G C
My body flies the galaxy, my heart longs to be there
A# F Dm
Benson, Arizona, the same stars in the sky
G C F
But they seemed so much kinder when we watched them, you and I
F
Now the years pull us apart
C
I'm young and now you're old
But you're still in my heart
F
And the memory won't grow cold
A#
I dream of times and spaces
I left far behind
C
Where we spent our last few days
A# F
Benson's on my mind
