From the recording Waitin' On The Daylight
Lyrics
Blanket Of Stars
On a cool, clear night out in the darkness
Before that new moon’s on the rise
With no ceiling above to block the heavens
A million stars fill up my eyes
And it feels like I can touch forever
Even though I know it’s hard to hold
There’s comfort in the stars, for restless hearts like ours
A warm, soft blanket ‘round my soul
Sometimes, this world weighs heavy on me;
And peaceful quiet's hard to find.
So I make my way out to this hillside
Where silence and starlight ease my mind
Til it feels like I can touch forever
Even though I know it’s hard to hold
There’s comfort in the stars, for restless hearts like ours
A warm, soft blanket for my soul
At times I find myself obsessing
over things in life I’ve yet to do.
While out among the stars I ask a blessing
from the one who’s always seen me through.
Til it feels like I can touch forever
And for a moment it’s something I can hold
There’s comfort in the stars, for restless hearts like ours
A warm, soft blanket ‘round my soul
