Our Lady Of The Shooting Stars
Mary Gauthier

Our lady of the shooting stars
was that you last night?
did we dance a whispered waltz
did I hold you in my sight?
when morning came with open arms
she lifted you from me
the sunlight burned my eyes away
and now I cannot see

Our lady of the shooting stars
as I face the early light
all that I can think of now
is joining you in flight
but I have followed gypsy's girl
and I've lost my way back home
I've held the Phoenix to my chest
and ended up alone

If I move to you,
will you move to me?

Our lady of the shooting stars
teach me how to know
I want to feel my thoughts go dark
and rest inside your flow
I'll awaken without fear
and breathe the cool clean air
with your words upon my lips
your will becomes my prayer

Our lady of the shooting stars
look at what you've done
you've led me to the water's edge
running from the sun
are you in the briny mist?
do seagulls scream your name?
their wings suspended by your love
or do I reach for you in vain?
