Put Back The Stars - Kirsty Mcgee
You showed me the plough
As it furrowed its way
Through the night
You said it was mine
And I waited for hours
Just watching it slide
Till the dawn filled the sky
And the fire of the morning
Peeled the stars away
Leaving the moon
In a blanket of grey
You gave me the moon
In the palm of my hand
Glinting like copper
And beaten like gold
September moon
With the rain in its hair
Tangling the stars
And I'd give you the air
If the air was mine to give you
I'd give you the clouds
If the clouds weren't filled with rain
I'd give you my heart
If you promise to be gentle
Won't you put back the stars
So we can see again
I watched you sleeping
Ever so gently
Sleeping so gently
And breathing so still
Till the dawn in the sky threw
Its light down over your shoulders
And the moon and the sun
Chased the darkness away
And now I know the ocean wave
I know the turning of the sea
I know that love is sweeter still
Than summer breezes turning leaves
I know your face I know your hair
The colour of your stare
The silence in your eyes
And I'd give you the air
If the air was mine to give you
I'd give you the clouds
If the clouds weren't filled with rain
I'd give you my heart
If you promise to be gentle
Won't you put back the stars
Put back the stars
So we can see again
