"Shoemaker" lyrics

Shoemaker

Now you've been tucked in
For eternal earthrise and wonder
A sailor through aeons

Story unheard
Howling at the Earth
Yours the whole graveyard of heavens
A ship that sailed home

You're with us
Face of the night
Singing through the morn for mankind
I want to sing with you

You're home now
Outward urge
As with every dreaming creature
We want to come with you

Here I came to be
Your reach into the far
On the stellar sea
Cut in little stars

We all wait
The due night
Beauty which
Is worth the hurting
We're coming to join you

Hope revived
For a lifetime
To rekindle the human spark
In love with the night

Now you've been tucked in
For eternal earthrise and wonder
A sailor through aeons

Story now heard
Howling at the Earth
Yours is the whole starmap of heavens
Of myriad endings

Here I came to be
Your reach into the far
On the stellar sea
Cut in little stars

We came here to be
A waypoint to the far
On the stellar sea
Cut into little stars
Calling with the sound
Of a dreamlike dulcimer
We came here to stay
With your guiding light

"And when he shall die
Take him
And cut him out
In little stars
And he will make
The face of heaven so fine
That all the world
Will be in love with the night
And pay no worship
To the garish sun"
