Morning Star




[Verse 1]

The coffee's black and the kitchen's cold

Another story that's getting old

I watched the blue turn into grey

Just waiting on the breaking of the day

The shadows stretch across the floor

I don't hear you walking through that door

But then the horizon starts to catch a spark

Cutting through the heavy and the dark.

You're the silver light in a world of coal

The only thing that's ever reached my soul

When the night is long and the wind is high

You're the steady point in a shifting sky

Yeah, you're the glow that finds me where I are

My beautiful, constant morning star.



[Verse 2]

The world is waking with a heavy sigh

But I'm just watching the way the light hits your eye

You bring the hope that the midnight stole

A little bit of mercy for a weary soul

You don't need a crown or a pedestal to stand

Just the simple touch of your open hand

The rest of the world can have the sun

But you're the light I need when the day is done.



[Bridge]

Venus is fading as the dawn comes on

But the way I feel is never gonna be gone

You're the promise that the light will return

The only fire I ever want to watch burn.



[Chorus]

And there you are, my morning star

I don't care where you've been or just how far

You're the silver light in a world of coal

The only thing that's ever reached my soul

When the night is long and the wind is high

You're the steady point in a shifting sky

Yeah, you're the glow that finds me where I are

My beautiful, constant morning star.



[Outro]

Shining through the window...

Shining on the floor...

I ain't afraid of the dark no more.

My morning star.
