I was going through my old DVD's and found a copy of John Carpinter's movie Dark Star. This was John Carpenter's first movie he made as a film student at USC that he made on a shoestring budget of $60,000. I have always like the title song for this movie. The lyrics were written by Bill Tayler and music by John Carpenter and sung by John Yager this is a clever country western song about a lonely space traveler being torn apart from his lover by relativity. Here are the lyrics. Enjoy! Doolittle: Let's have some music in here, Boiler. Boiler: Sure thing! A million suns shine down But I see only one When I think I'm over you I find I've just begun The years move faster than the days There's no warmth in the light How I miss those desert skies Your cool touch in the night Benson, Arizona, blew warm wind through your hair My body flies the galaxy, my heart longs to be there Benson, Arizona, the same stars in the sky But they seemed so much kinder when we watched them, you and I Benson, Arizona, blew warm wind through your hair My body flies the galaxy, my heart longs to be there Benson, Arizona, the same stars in the sky But they seemed so much kinder when we watched them, you and I Now the years pull us apart I'm young and now you're old But you're still in my heart And the memory won't grow cold I dream of times and spaces I left far behind Where we spent our last few days Benson's on my mind Benson, Arizona, blew warm wind through your hair My body flies the galaxy, my heart longs to be there Benson, Arizona, the same stars in the sky But they seemed so much kinder when we watched them, you and I
