i always thought that she literally saw a falling starburn out, something which you see quite often above a desert. the falling star then burns out. a dying relationship. she talks about "starbright, starbright, you got the loving that i like alright" and the star that someone gave to her. i.e. she sees the relationship as a starlight, burning out 'cause she left. ron npimh - i will never eat KFC again, i will never eat kfc again. if saddam sold the kfc i had last night it would definitely be rated as a weapon of mass destruction. :-)
