The North Star lyrics


Words and music by Roddy Frame

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.
