Hunter Moon lyrics

Softly the morning light

Softly the dew

Softly my soul will bend

As she comes in view

At dawn she is delicate

And burning by noon

The end of the day will come soon

And the stars in my lonely sky

Are infinite bright

And the stars know my soul will fly

They're holding it tight

There she is rising now

My heart it might break

The birds in her warmth will fly

My soul it will ache

And the world comes alive for her

In awe at her gaze

And suddenly the sky is ablaze

And the stars in my lonely sky

Are infinite bright

And the stars know my soul will fly

They're holding it tight

Oh, say not her name to me

For I live in the shade

Briefly I see her

As she starts to fade

In silence we pass

Our path is well worn

In silence I wait for the dawn

And the stars in my lonely sky

Are infinite bright

And the stars know my soul will fly

They're holding it tight

Calmly I drift along

Oh, I will endure

I only belong to her

Of that I am sure

Will I ever hold her?

I cannot presume

For she's the sun

I'm only the moon

And the stars in my lonely sky

Are infinite bright

And the stars know my soul will fly

They're holding it tight

And the stars in my lonely sky

Are infinite bright

And the stars know my soul will fly

They're holding it tight
