lyrics from “comfortable”

THERE’S A STAR

there’s a star outside my room
who keeps me company when i can’t sleep
when my dreams are deep
she signals the dawn
that little star I know is you
you’re the lover time will not erase
when my faith runs low
you are the sun

and the romance thickens
as my heartbeat quickens
strains of strings and a clarinet

that little star that lights my room & keeps me company when i can’t sleep
never makes a peep if i should stray
that little star just beams & sighs
starts to twinkling tears in her eye
and that is how i know that she will stay

my little star it’s no surprise
that i will follow you across the skies
i could never stray for long
my little star, keep holding on
stay, i will never wander away

“From Minnesota to Massachusetts (and places in between), Kellie Lin Knott has been plying her trade in the acoustic folk singer/songwriter scene. On her album Comfortable, she touches on subjects associated with the genre including singing in subways (“Street Musician”) and troubled kids (“In Africa”), but she does so in a distinctive way. The touching “Salt & Sand” was my favorite track.” Greg Shapiro

“the best on the bill is 24 year old Kellie Lin Knott, whose voice leaps around like Joni Mitchell’s on “Another Verse”, a song about love that manages to refer to Hemingway, Debussy, and Monet without being pretentious. Knott started singing with her father’s Top-40 bar band when she was 8, and by now she’s a mature singer-storyteller. She shows her gifts on “The Usual”, set in a restaurant where a customer orders “the usual” as a way to “save my voice.” This seems to become a metaphor of regret for a life not going anywhere - and then the song turns out, instead, wondrously, to be about gratitude for a life with certainty. How’s that for insight at 24?”
