lyrics

Starlight

Oooo

My darling my darling I can’t let you in
Dearly departed are most of my kin
My love and my lover I bid you adieu
Regret only that I can’t travel with you

Ooooo

And what of my mother I haven’t the words
I’ve only this saucer and cup that was hers
My brother my brother who won’t speak my name
The shame that I’ve done to you you’ve done the same

By only the starlight I follow the line
Made by the river and carved out by time
I look to the willow that grows in the sand
Turning with sunlight the air from the land
