lyrics

I am a Northern constellation
Shining in the summer night
You cannot see me in the city sky
The lights are shining too bright

Shining down upon the weary hobo
Coffee in his cup has long grown cold
As that long black train pulls out through Phoenix
Heading North from Juarez, Mexico

My sweet Aurora, shining in the sky
I’m gone to California, I’ve come to say goodbye
Been a long time shining on down to you
Just keep on shining
And I’ll keep shining
Keep on shining
As the stars fall all around you

The nights are clear in Colorado
Perhaps that’s where I’ll go
Searching for my El Dorado
Where the setting sun shimmers like gold

My sweet Aurora, shining in the sky
I’m gone to California, I’ve come to say goodbye
Been a long time shining on down to you
Just keep on shining
And I’ll keep shining
Keep on shining
As the stars fall all around you

I met a woman by the river
She had been traveling for some time
I asked her how far she was headed
She said, “Far as this train takes me down the line”

It’s a long road from Erie, Pennsylvania
Farther than the crow can fly
Headed west for healing mountain air
And those big Montana skies

My sweet Aurora, shining in the sky
I’m gone to California, I’ve come to say goodbye
Been a long time shining on down to you
Just keep on shining
And I’ll keep shining
Keep on shining
As the stars fall all around you
