As the night approaches
Millions lit the sky,
Lights from the eons past
Reach this world in this time,
In this small raft, the anchors aweigh
Slowly, the sail unfolds
The silk sail set aglow
from the wisdom of the stars
Then there’s your light atop the hill
Beacons doesn’t have to shine bright after all
Like Betelgeuse sometimes bright, sometimes dim
Then there’s your light atop the hill
Beacons doesn’t have to shine bright after all
Just shining in the shore where the waves break
I could spend all night musing under the stars
As the night approaches
Millions lit the sky,
the wisdom of the stars
Reach this world in this time,
In this small raft, the anchors aweigh
Surely, the sail unfolds
The silk sail set aglow
from the light you’ve shone.
Then there’s your light atop the hill
Beacons doesn’t have to shine bright after all
Like Betelgeuse sometimes bright, sometimes dim
Then there’s your light atop the hill
Beacons doesn’t have to shine bright after all
Just shining in the shore where the waves break
I could spend all night musing under the stars
Soon, I’ll pass this channel
I will remember that night, with your light
