Morning Star Gently
by Susan Muranty

Verse 1
Morning Star! Gently,
The lights in my head
Glitter and waver.
This floating white bed
Drifts on a river
Of silver and gold.

Chorus
Morning Star, gently. Please hold me. I'm cold.

Verse 2
Morning Star! Gently,
The grey mist flows on.
The sky is wing-pale.
A new sun grows strong.
We make for the shore
under sheets of cool light.

Chorus
Morning Star, gently embracing the night.

Verse 3
Morning Star! Gently,
We kiss in the dawn.
Our passion is broken.
Those years, so forlorn,
Lie shattered in pieces
Of nights that are past.

Chorus
Morning Star gently afire on the mast.

Verse 4
Morning Star! Gently,
The river flows on.
I'll love you forever.
Even when it was wrong,
I couldn't let go of your
Sparkling blue light.

Chorus
Morning Star gently releasing the night.
