Lyrics
STARLIGHT - © 2003 Eli Stevens
The stars are a powerful thing, they control the sea.
Little chance, a sailor or lover. A shipwreck I foresee.
The lighthouse is asleep. The rocks are glowing bright,
waiting for me there, bathed in ghostly light.
Is this starlight in my eyes? It?s so hard to see.
Squinting in the starlight, the glare is blinding me.
Now my lover and I sail along, and now the sea gets rough.
Now we quarrel and bicker, and now we?ve had enough.
I am grounded by mountains, surrounded by the plain.
A thousand miles from an ocean, drowning just the same.
Is this starlight in my eyes? It?s so hard to see.
Squinting in the starlight, the glare is blinding me.
