Star Tide

/Verse 1/
Again comes the soul, with nothing to hold,
Tell me, what is there left to remain?
Alone in the night, as the moon turns to gold,
But my heart—it just keeps on beating.

/Chorus/
Just the stars' gentle tide,
Just the deep, endless night,
An eternal refrain,
As it all fades from sight.

/Verse 2/
You smile at me now, and that warmth flows right through,
Through the veins of a long-vanished day.
It's springtime once more—and there's nothing to rue,
'Cause you know me the very same way.

/Chorus/
Just the stars' gentle tide,
Just the deep, endless night,
An eternal refrain,
As it all fades from sight.

/Verse 3/
The eternal refrain melts the hours to dust,
Though I know this is more than a dream,
In the light of your beauty, I place all my trust,
Yet it fades with a touch, so it seems.

/Chorus/
Just the stars' gentle tide,
Just the deep, endless night,
An eternal refrain,
As it all fades from sight.

/Verse 4/
Just smile at me once more, I plead,
Just smile and stay close by my side,
Sing me that song that I so deeply need,
And let your sweet peace be my guide.

/Verse 5 (reprise)/
My soul is awake, and it's taking its time,
Underneath the vast sky of what's meant,
Alone in the dark, as the moon starts to climb,
But my heart—it keeps beating, unbent.

/Verse 6 (reprise)/
You smile at me now, and that warmth flows right through,
Through the veins of a long-vanished day.
It's springtime once more—and there's nothing to rue,
'Cause you know me the very same way.

/Final Chorus/
Just the stars' gentle tide,
Just the deep, endless night,
An eternal refrain,
As it all fades from sight.
