Wooden Star - Esben and the Witch
Your eyes look heavy
Let them fall
Gain your strength
I'll keep a vigil 'til Aurora calls from her bed
Rest your head
Lie back and dream of finer things
My eyes are open to watch you sleep
Under the night's wings
I'll see the sun sink beneath the line
The light dissolves
Plunged into darkness whilst the earth revolves
I'll tend the fire 'til everything burns and the ash it flies
A wooden star
Ablaze in the dirt eventide
In my house you will be safe
I'll cover you
And I am here
I'm wide awake to see the night through
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Lift your head awake the day will soon be here
A burning beacon in the sky has fast appeared
It brings a warmth a hope a welcome deity
Heralding a virgin light that summons us to leave
Although the dying sparks of
Flame are fading on the hearth
And clear skies bring in the cold
The heat is there in our hearts
Now the shadows have gone
And fled and so the coast is clear
Safe from harm under
The watchful eye of a glowing sphere
