I stood still coldly burning Ribbons of snow in my hair All the lights on the highway Chicago moon in the air But, I don't know if it's the same moon he saw I know he's looking down on the Southern Cross Hotel I hope he's up there and ringing on the bell For us down here that ain't doing so well Don't you burn out on me Don't you fade out on me We need you more now you're gone Don't you burn out on me Sat in the movie with my wine Her hair is blackberry pine But that sadness ain't mine I gave it to the stars But, I don't know if it's the same stars he saw I know he's looking down on the Southern Cross Hotel I hope he's up there and ringing on the bell For us down here that ain't doing so well Don't you burn out on me Don't you fade out on me We need you more now you're gone Don't you burn out on me
