This started from a poetry tribute contest "shades of Bowie" to be based on one of his songs. My inspiration was Dollar Days by David Bowie on his final "Blackstar" album.

Shade? more like a shadow of the esoteric bowie lyrics, but it will just have to do. Hope you are smiling down on it Mr Jones !

Lyrics

(The Narrator)
his star to you he brought
and love for you never faded
and though he was sold and bought
for him, you could never be traded

(the star)
"soul in my soul, always chasing me
but I ride waves to the stars
as long as it’s you I can see
this journey will always be ours"

(chorus for a group)
we'll not forget you
you were why we hear
we'll not forget you
your sound seen far and near

(the star)
"I am standing against a tsunami
something far away, I thought was nothing
but some can’t dance with the big sea
so for the last time a blackstar is singing"

(The narrator)
falling long, and calling hard
maybe leaving the station soon
gives you a song, suits take a yard
this time he’ll smile at the blue moon

(Chorus group)
we'll not forget you
you were why we hear
we'll not forget you
your sound seen far and near

(outro - by chorus group)
oh no
we'll not forget you
oh no
we'll not forget you
oh no
we'll not forget you
