Star In The Black Sky Shining Lyrics - Singles - John Stewart

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
