lyrics
Natal Star
All's beauteous and bright
On this Night of all Nights
But I'm tired and torn
Thread-bare and care-worn
Uncomfortable in my own skin
Plebeians and princes
Crossed great distances
Bound for David's City
And a Nativity
That's yet to be born in my heart
Over-head, hovering
Sweetly cherubim sing
From their realm in the sky
So impossibly high
That no tidings will light on my ears
Still the Mystics divine
Still the Natal Star shines
And though the sky's full and low
She refuses to snow
I refuse to open up my eyes
All's diluted and pale
In this achromic vale
But you follow the charts
And the greyness departs
From you, slowly but assuredly
I've been promised this, too
I've been promised this, too
I've been promised: why don't I believe?
