Night of a Thousand Stars

from Emwell Cross - remix by Bryan Macdonald & Filippo Lui

lyrics

Part one
Night of a Thousand Stars

Wandering through, a glade of pinewood
Across the forest lawn
Fording streams under evergreen
We knew this world was ours

We climbed the hill, made of clay
To view a perfect summers dusk
As the world we knew, slowly turned
Into the night of a thousand stars


Part two
Circle of Stone

A cry is raised, now class is out
The freedom bells ring clear
Into the land of figures of chalk
And the rolling sunlit hills

Going forth, adventures calling
A promised summer’s heat
Cycling forth, the vistas change
Through fields of grass and wheat


Ancient stone, of the plain
On rolling land, the circle of stone
Appears through the morning mists


The mood is high, expectations met
Basking within this sphere
The amphitheatre, of the stars
Cast free from primal fears

A banquet laid, drink to be shared
Deposit to be claimed
Summer shower, time to return
Before the end of day

Ancient stone, of the plain
On rolling land, the circle of stone
Sinks into an evening haze


Part Three
Promised Land

We heard the song, words to savour,
on the medium wave
A guide on how to love,
to such a tuneful phrase

And then she said.

Time to walk, for the day is long.
We can bask in the summer heat.
I’ll take you to the promised land.
Beyond a crystal stream.
Take my hand, and I’ll show you the meaning.
What the song, really means.



Then she whispered, it’s time to see the light.
Just one gentle touch, and I’ll show you what is right.

And then she said.

Sinking into long grass, at the river’s edge.
The vision of the cross, now cast from his head.

And then she said.

Time to walk, for the day is long,
we can bask in the summer heat
I’ll take you to the promised land,
beyond a crystal stream.
Take my hand, and I’ll show you the meaning.
What the song, really means.


Part Four
Sea of a thousand dreams

A winter chill, across the plain
The autumn of dying leaves
And soon she cast her hand aside
Resolved it was time to leave

A different song began to play
The tempo not so sweet
Until another girl turned to say
Take my hand, it’s time to believe

Holy cross, holy stream
Cast, upon the water
In the sea of a thousand dreams
