Roddy Frame The North Star
I'm losing my direction Something's come between us It's gettin' hard to do right I'm searchin' for a sign They've split us into sections I'm from Mars and your from Venus But stranded in the daylight Nothin' is defined But as the late summer honey light Shifts and caresses the buildings...
Dark starry eyes Searching the skies Because it's hidden from view Don't mean it isn't for you You know we're gonna make it We've only gotta take it Cos' it's a dark, dark sky Holds the North Star high And guides us and bathes us In stillness and sameness and blue
I've made a big decision In the light of the eternal I'm gonna be your mirror And you can mirror me I'll see you in the bright star Cushioned by the dark sky Reflected in the river Flowing to the sea And as the reasons and rumours recede Dyin' on the lesseing breeze
Sweet starry eyes Immune to surprise Because it's hidden from view Don't mean it isn't for you You know we're gonna make it We've only gotta take it And it's a dark, dark sky Holds the North Star high And guides us and bathes us In stillness and sameness and blue
And blue is the colour of my heart Since you blew my senses apart The feeling we're back at the start never ends As clusters of heavenly jewels Gaze down on Earth's lonely fools Turnin' and twistin' Resisting the pull of a fate that's already planned They can't understand
Dark starry eyes Searching the skies Because it's hidden from view Don't mean it isn't for you You know we're gonna make it We've only gotta take it It's a dark, dark sky Holds the North Star high And guides us and bathes us In stillness and sameness and blue I'm placing my faith in the brilliance Of the bright stars and you.
