Listen to Starlight by Richard Charles Stevens (Constellation Suite)
Our strings were wound around each other
From each cycle found as lovers
Dawning in all shades and colours
.
In the starlight
Shines a star bright
.
In the starlight
Shines a star bright
.
There was starlight in her eyes
A lullaby
As yet unsung
And it was my delight to come undone
From the far side of my rear view
She had glided into clear view
And my heart grew to proclaim
She was the one
.
We danced late into the night
And there remained until first light
To reignite a flame so striking
It became the most enticing
As it blazed the pale horizon
Into life
And unsurprisingly
Invited me to favour timeless flight
(Dawning in all shades and colours)
.
In the starlight
Shines a star bright
.
In the starlight
Shines a star bright
.
There was stardust in her stride
A lullaby
To my wide eyes
As it confided tales regaled
With not a tiny detail veiled
Of every mighty mountain scaled
Of each untimely fate prevailed
Atop the giddy height of sail
My head felt dizzy to admire
.
My heart was hardly vacant
Merely guarded neath my raiment
Her lullaby
As yet uncharmed
Of harmony’s arrangement
And it was my birthright to see it thrive in kind persuasion
.
There was starlight in her eyes
That touched the dust within her stride
Thus I entrusted every blush of me
To mastering her puppetry
Our strings were wound around each other
From each cycle found as lovers
As below
Twas so above us
Dawning in all shades and colours
.
From the far side of my rear view
She had glided into clear view
And my heart grew to proclaim
She was the one
.
We sat in silence
In alliance with the stars we thanked for guidance
And relied on fingertips to be our stylus
Vinyl crackled
Static dappled every groove
As we removed the shackles of the hearts entombed inside us
.
There was stardust in her stride
A lullaby
To my wide eyes
As it confided tales regaled
With not a tiny detail veiled
Of every mighty mountain scaled
Of each untimely fate prevailed
Atop the giddy height of sail
My head felt dizzy to admire
One quite so fitting by my side
.
In the starlight
Shines a star bright
(repeat to fade)
.
