bright star - anaïs mitchell lyrics
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
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 pavemеnt
and i understood my place then
and my purposе 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
