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've sailed in all directions
 I've 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've drunk the wine of ages
 In the company of strangers
 We have sung in tongues of angels
 And then stumbled on the pavemеnt
 And I understood my place then
 And my purposе in relation
 To the young and ancient night
 ♪
 Bright star
 I'm home now from my roaming
 I'm alone now in the gloaming
 With the ships out in the yard
 Bright star
 There's a thought upon me dawning
 You've launched a thousand longings
 And I don't know who you are
 Bright star
 You've 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've flown beside you
 I would not have had the sight of you
 To guide me through the world so wide
 And bright
