Lyrics Star In The Black Sky Shining - John Stewart

Star In The Black Sky Shining

There was a woman
I saw on the street
I swear she was wearing
The moon on her feet
She said, «Do you know me?»
And I said, «I don’t know»
She told me to listen
And then I could go
And there was a boy
Who I found on the road
I said, «Are you lost
With nowhere to go?»
And he said, «No I’m not
I believe that you are»
And he told me to sit
On the hood of the car
He said, «I am the course
That the river is winding
And I am the horse
That the angel is riding»
«And I am the source
Of the love you are finding
Do you know who I am?
It is blinding
I am the star in the black sky shining»
There was a dog
Who had followed me home
He was not young
But not fully grown
And he said, ‽Do you know me?
We spoke on the phone
I was a king
And the world is my throneâ€
He said, †I am the flame
In the heat of the fire
And I am to blame
For the tongue of the liar"
«And I am the same
As the birds on the wire
Do you know who I am?
It is blinding
I am the star in the black sky shiningâ€
And there was a thief
Who was tied to a pole
At his feet was a list
Of the things that he stole
And I said, ‽I am only
Playing a roleâ€
And he asked if I dared
Look deep in his soul
He said, †I am the heart
Of the warrior child
And I am the moment
That the beast becomes mild"
«And I am the part
Of the soul that is wild
Do you know who I am?
It is blinding
I am the star in the black sky shining», oh
«And I come from the light, it is blinding
For I am the star in the black sky shining», oh
