Filled with horror and delight
She's come to make another son
A brother for the other one
Who's gone
The black storm on the pillow there
Is the color of her hair
And me
A dark star follows you tonight
You're filled with horror and delight
You've come to make another son
A brother for the other one
I hold a picture of your face, in my memory in embrace
With you I find I can't replace
My dark star.

A dark star follows me tonight
I am plagued by a great burden tonight
Filled with horror and delight
I am both terrified and fascinated by this burden
She's come to make another son
The burden has come to bring forth a new challenge
A brother for the other one
This challenge is a companion to the previous one
Who's gone
The previous challenge has passed away
The black storm on the pillow there

Is the color of her hair

And me
As if I am part of the burden itself

With you I find I can't replace
I am unable to forget you as I struggle with this burden
My dark star.
This burden is my constant companion, like a dark star in the sky
