Light of the Stars

The day is now ending, with a wink and a wave In their dear constant ritual, the stars flicker their way To the hearts of the people who wait for their light To extinguish their fears of what lives in their night A constant reminder of how little we are With our misguided loyalty to what will buy us some time So we'll keep up our pity and lower our shame Through a spyglass all seeing, never accepting the blame I'll be here in the light of the stars I'll be here when the darkness arrives You said you'd wait for me under the arms Of an old oak tree in the light of the stars As if by some genius of both space and of time We correct all our failings and render benign All the uninspired souls, who are chasing their tails Through life's man-made goals, how we love them to fail I'll be here in the light of the stars I'll be here when the darkness arrives And you said you'd wait for me under the arms Of an old oak tree in the light of the stars I'll be here in the light of the stars I'll be here when the darkness arrives And you said you'd wait for me under the arms Of an old oak tree in the light An old oak tree in the light An old oak tree in the light An old oak tree in the light of the stars In the light of the stars In the light of the stars In the light of the stars
