Bright Star |
| Bright star |
| When I first laid eyes upon you |
| I was filled with such a longing |
| To be with you in the dark |
| Bright star |
| Since I could not fly beside you |
| I would chart my own course by you |
| And I’d sail it by your light |
| Bright star |
| I have sailed in all directionsI |
| Have followed your reflection |
| To the farthest foreign shore |
| Bright star bright star |
| I have anchored in the harbors |
| I have brought my gifts to barter |
| For a drifter’s bed and board |
| Bright star |
| I have drunk the wine of ages |
| In the company of strangers |
| We havesung in tongues of angels |
| And then stumbled on the pavemnt |
| And I understood my place then |
| And my purpos in relation |
| To the young and ancient night |
| Bright star |
| I am home now from my roaming |
| I’m alone now in the gloaming |
| With the ships out in the yard |
| Bright star bright star |
| There’s a thought upon me dawning |
| You have launched a thousand longings |
| And I don’t know who you are |
| Bright star |
| You have never been my vessel |
| Or the wind my sails have wrestled |
| Or the lands to which I traveled |
| Or the friends with whom I reveled |
| There are lengths to which you’ll never |
| Know I went to be your lover |
| And beloved in your sight |
| Bright star |
| When I first laid eyes upon you |
| I was filled with such a longing |
| To be with you in the dark |
| Bright star |
| If I could have flown beside you |
| I would not have had the sight of you |
| To guide me through the world so wide |
| And bright |
