Starry Night

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 voices sing that they 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
