John Stewart Lyrics
"Star In The Black Sky Shining"

There was a woman
I saw on the street
I swear she was wearing
The moon on her feet

She said, "Do you know me?"
And I said, "I don't know"
She told me to listen
And then I could go

And there was a boy
Who I found on the road
I said, "Are you lost
With nowhere to go?"

And he said, "No I'm not
I believe that you are"
And he told me to sit
On the hood of the car

He said, "I am the course
That the river is winding
And I am the horse
That the angel is riding"

"And I am the source
Of the love you are finding
Do you know who I am? It is blinding
I am the star in the black sky shining"

There was a dog
Who had followed me home
He was not young
But not fully grown

And he said, "Do you know me?"
We spoke on the phone
I was a king
And the world is my throne

He said, "I am the flame
In the heat of the fire
And I am to blame
For the tongue of the liar"

"And I am the same
As the birds on the wire
Do you know who I am? It is blinding
I am the star in the black sky shining"

And there was a thief
Who was tied to a pole
At his feet was a list
Of the things that he stole

And I said, "I am only
Playing a role"
And he asked if I dared
Look deep in his soul

He said, "I am the heart
Of the warrior child
And I am the moment
That the beast becomes mild"

"And I am the part
Of the soul that is wild
Do you know who I am? It is blinding
I am the star in the black sky shining", oh

"And I come from the light, it is blinding
For I am the star in the black sky shining", oh
