Karine Polwart Lyrics
Terminal Star Lyrics
Youre a beautiful trace
Across time and space
Youre a thing that once shone
And you still shine bright
In the darkest night
Though youre already gone
You have travelled so far
My terminal star
In your coat so red
But I still dont know how
I can watch a thing now
When its already dead
When its already dead
Just to reach my eyes
You traverse the skies
For a hundred million years
I behold your power
In this waukrife hour
Just before it disappears
All the stories in stones
And in beakers and bones
All the salt in the sea
Are eclipsed by the might
Of your fading light
Youre dying so beautifully
So beautifully
Youre a beautiful trace
Of time and space
Youre a thing that once shone
And you till shine bright
In the darkest night
Though youre already gone
Though youre already gone
