Stars (feat. Great Lake Swimmers) [Acoustic]

There are more stars in the August sky

Than you and I can count

As they fall like sand from an open hand

In such a great amount

One for every song I wish I’d sung

Every love I’ve never known

Still I know you’re here now beside me dear

And I’ll never sing alone

I will never sing alone my love, I will never sing alone

While you’re still here beside me dear I’ll never sing alone

There’s a tattered map beneath our feet

Of a patchwork blue and green

All the county lines and the rocky spines

And the spaces in between

But there is no place I’d rather be, nothing I would rather do

Than to hold you tight on an August night and count the stars with you

And count the stars with you my love, and count the stars with you

As they fall like sand through an open hand, until the night is through
