Bright Morning Star Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Last night I dreamed my head was in a fever 

Last night I dreamed it never was so far 

To reach a shore of safety and redemption 

And to gaze upon a bright morning star 

I dreamed I was by friends all but abandoned 

I dreamed I was alone but for my scars 

And blinded by the tears that fell like water 

No more to see my bright morning star 

The streets of dreams never looked this lonely 

The streets of dreams never felt this hard 

I heard my voice barely of a whisper 

As the clouds denied a bright morning star 

Sometimes this life is no more than a moment 

And sometimes the light is lost unto the dark 

But courage hears the sound of dawn approaching 

And each our own bright morning star 

I woke to find every window open 

I woke to find the heavy door ajar 

And I walked outside and stood upon the hilltop 

And gazed once more on a bright morning star 

I walked outside and every bird was singing 

As I found again my bright morning star
