The stars will tell us things if we pay attention.

lyrics

Just one bell before the break of day / I took my watch on deck to earn my pay / I shook the sleep from my eyes /And took me a look at those south pacific skies / There was a star burning in the night / And it touched a place in me beyond my sight / It was more than just a sight to see / And I knew right then, this one burned for me // There's a new star born tonight / With a fire from the forges of heavenly light / There's a new star born tonight / And I finally get the feeling that I'm doing something right // From the deck of that ship I saw a warming line / To the east where the sun would bring a dawn so clear and fine / And I thought I heard the angels sing / From the top of the sky, morning bells did ring / So I reached on out to the night / Put that star in my pocket and held it tight / And the sun broke that morning line / And shattered the night into shards so fine // There's a new star born tonight / With a fire from the forges of heavenly light / There's a new star born tonight / And I finally get the feeling that I'm doing something right // The day you left I heard the call / I didn’t want to fight this time // I've been on the run enough to know / When the gate is open, you don't move slow / Your wake in the water just fades away / It takes conviction to remember the way / But the best laid courses go astray / From the deepest night to the break of day / With a star in your pocket and a warming line / You reach on out, say this one's mine.
