Lyrics

Her voice reached out across the waves,
Her sordid past she never gave,
With a tempered mind for psychology,
She broke the rules without apology,
When we were drowning in despair,
An answer sounded in the air,
Some people said she didn't wear clothes,
On her Starlight Radio.

Come in Sister Tara Lee,
Say those magic words to me,
Set these honest airwaves free,
I can almost hear you loud and clear,
I can almost feel you standing here,
I can tell there's nothing to fear.

Her father left when she was four,
She'd lost a brother to the war,
Her second husband ran about,
But he was the last one to ever walk out,
Her mind turned toward a sound she heard,
She found a tale that knew no words,
For all the souls that had no home,
There was Starlight Radio.

Come in Sister Tara Lee,
Say those magic words to me,
Set these honest airwaves free,
I can almost hear you loud and clear,
I can almost feel you standing here,
I can tell there's nothing to fear.

Some people got scared of the foreign sounds,
ANd they drove her out of town,
With a angry voice that was not spent,
These were the last words that she sent,
"When they've sent you on your way,
ANd there's not songs for you to play.
When you ain’t got nowhere to go,
Tune into Starlight Radio.”

Come in Sister Tara Lee,
Say those magic words to me,
Set these honest airwaves free,
I can almost hear you loud and clear,
I can almost feel you standing here,
I can tell there's nothing to fear.
