Bright star When I first laid eyes upon you I was filled with such a longing To be with you in the dark Bright star Since I could not fly beside you I would chart my own course by you And I'd sail it by your light Bright star I have sailed in all directions I have followed your reflection To the farthest foreign shore Bright star, bright star I have anchored in the harbors I have brought my gifts to barter For a drifter's bed and board Bright star I have drunk the wine of ages In the company of strangers We have sung in tongues of angels And then stumbled on the pavement And I understood my place then And my purpose in relation To the young and ancient night Bright star I am home now from my roaming I'm alone now in the gloaming With the ships out in the yard Bright star There's a thought upon me dawning You have launched a thousand longings And I don't know who you are Bright star You have never been my vessel Or the wind my sails have wrestled Or the lands to which I traveled Or the friends with whom I reveled There are lengths to which you'll never Know I went to be your lover And beloved in your sight Bright star When I first laid eyes upon you I was filled with such a longing To be with you in the dark Bright star If I could have flown beside you I would not have had the sight of you To guide me through the world so wide and bright
