Midnight Sun
Oau Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my starlight falling above you
All my starlight leading the way

The sun is hidden in my pocket
A trinket won in ages old
Everlasting is this fable
When it rises ever burning to behold
And when the day retreats it shimmers

In my eyes of red and gold

The moon I lend to sons of dreamers
A darkended sky to soothe the eyes when day is done
The stars are laid out like a blanket
For lovers warming in the midnight sun

All my starlight falling above you
All my starlight leading the way
To my greatest delight
You light up the night
I will follow you to places ever after
I will follow you wherever you go

I reach my hands up to the heavens
While they paint my fingertips so snowy white
I kiss the morning with my voices
And in the evening I egnite

All my starlight falling above you
All my starlight leading the way
To my greatest delight
You light up the night
I will follow you to places ever after
I will follow you wherever you go

With only your hand beside
We will go far and wide
And then never to say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

All my starlight falling above you
All my starlight leading the way
All my starlight shining above you
All my starlight calls you to stray
To my greatest delight
You light up the night

I will follow you to places ever after
I will follow you wherever you go
