Shoemaker lyrics

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”

Laudato si

Ad astra
