Stella Video (MV)

There's one star less in the sky overhead
I stole it in the pains of my birthing bed
I've grown it, homed it, giv'n it life
I've named it, claimed it, daughter mine
But her soul came down on a wind from afar
And made my girl from the shards of distant stars

Every night the sun will set
Every morning it rises up again
It rises up again

Don't go forgetting you were sprouted in the heavens
Don't go fretting for these old mortal terrors
The bombs couldn't make the sky fall to earth
The sky will only fall for my star-shard girl

Every night the sun will set
Every morning it rises up again
It rises up again

Amongst it all - the yell, the noise
The hell of all these broken boys
The hours I pass in sick unsleep
The cracking salt I nightly weep
Shell of a man lost to my touch
Sucked away in Flanders mud -
Comes earthly star born anew
And I love you, oh, I love you

May you never see the clouds darken to warrior fleets
Weeping over our city's sleeping streets
Nor the dirt that sunk your father in barbed wire
Nor the cur that hunts with hunger-narrowed eyes
Nor the promenading ladies whose gazes tend to linger
Looking at my belly, looking at my finger

Every night the sun will set
They call the sun a star, they do
I stole my star from the sky
And whisper to her now: I love you, I love you
(I love you) I love you, I love you
(I love you) I love you, I love you
(I love you) I love you, I love you
