Its A Very Starry Night
of Montreal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a very starry night though the moons not very bright.
It's a very attractive sight this fair and starry night.
It's a very starry night watching barristers
In flight see them disappear from sight on this fair
And starry night though I'm by myself
I am not alone there are lots of little creatures
Who call this their home
And I am so loose I'm not afraid to say
I don't know what is keeping my body
From just floating away.
It's a very starry night watching solicitors in flight.
See them hovering like kites on this fair and starry night.
Though I'm by myself I am not alone.
There are lots of little creatures who call this their home
And l am so loose I'm not afraid to say.




I don't know what is keeping my body from just floating away.
It's a very starry night
