Lodestar

Out of the night, into the water

We push the boat from shore

Breaking the air and the stillness of the bay

Intensity of stars reflected in the harbour

Silently ignite

The oar dips into oil like water

And we are away

Your hand won't write

Not tonight

But your mind may wander

Into those deep lagoons that you know

And your boat will go by starlight alone

Da da da da da da da da

You sang to the moon

In the great black night

With no lodestar in sight

Out of the night

Out of the water

We pull the boat back to shore

Breathe in the air and the stillness of the bay

Intensity of stars reflected in the water

Silently ignite

The oar dips into oil like water

And we are away

Under the moon in the great black night

With no lodestar in sight

And wait for it

There are only two things now

This great black night

And the fireglow

And listen! The darkness rings

The darkness....

Listen! The darkness rings

And wait for it

There are only two of us now

This great black night, scooped out

And this fireglow

Listen! The darkness rings

The darkness...

Listen! The darkness rings

Take off your things

And listen!

The darkness rings
