Black Stars Songtext
von Jolie Holland

I saw you tonight by the light
Of the shining black stars that circle my heart
I saw you come in, though it was dim
I have been listening
From the beginning

When you arrived, it was as if we had both died
And gone somewhere else
You and myself

That otherworldly feeling
Came over me stealing
My mind was reeling
Blood bleeding red
Like my guitar
Whoever you are


Cold in the night
I think you′re right
To whisper and listen
Like flowers glisten
In a quiet garden
The moon is wizened and it is old
As a toad
In a Chinese story

The fallen glory of my ego
Is laid at the feet
Of all our purposes
And my purpose is
To keep on dreaming
I am fishing for wishes
That's where you come in
Though it was dim

When you arrived, it was as if we had both died
And gone somewhere else
You and myself
