Bright star
Gb
When I first laid eyes upon you
Db
I was filled with such a longing
Gb
To be with you in the dark
Db
Bright star

Since I could not fly beside you
Db
I would chart my own course by you
Gb Db
And I’d sail it by your light

Db
Bright star
Gb
I have sailed in all directions
Db
I have followed your reflection
Gb
To the farthest foreign shore
Gb Db
Bright star, bright star
Gb
I have anchored in the harbors
Db
I have brought my gifts to barter
Gb
For a drifter’s bed and board

I have drunk the wine of ages
Ab
In the company of strangers
Gb
We have sung in tongues of angels

And then stumbled on the pavemеnt
Ebm7
And I understood my place then
Ab
And my purposе in relation
Gb Db
To the young and ancient night
[Instrumental]

I am home now from my roaming

I'm alone now in the gloaming

With the ships out in the yard

Bright star
Ebm7
There’s a thought upon me dawning
Ab
You have launched a thousand longings
Gb Db
And I don’t know who you are
[Verse 5]
Db
Bright star
Gb
You have never been my vessel
Ab
Or the wind my sails have wrestled
Gb
Or the lands to which I traveled
Db
Or the friends with whom I reveled
Gb
There are lengths to which you’ll never know I went
Ab
To be your lover
Gb
And beloved in your sight
[Instrumental]

If I could have flown beside you

To guide me through the world so wide
