Stars of the Midnight Range
Johnny Bond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stars of the midnight ranges
Shining through the night

Stars of the midnight ranges
Light my way tonight

While my herd is grazin'
Guide them til the dawn

Watch them while I'm sleepin'

Till the stars are gone

Candles up in heaven
Lend your light so strange

Guide my weary dogies
Stars of the midnight range
