Starry, starry night

        Who can tell what morning brings

        Will the coming light,

        Steal the sky or grant you wings

 

        As the lonely moon

        lights the darkness for the tear

        Sadly out of tune,

        The artist sings, that he may hear

 

        Clouds forever shield 

        The promised rising of your sun

        Storms will always build

        To cleanse us of the gifted one

 

        Like a bird in nest,

        You shield your offspring from the rain

        In eternal rest,

        You call them from the earthly pain

 

        In a swirling flight, 

        You've left them with the wings to fly

        Starry, starry, night.

        They pause before our blissful eye.
