Turn Out the Stars

Turn out the stars!...
Turn out the stars!...
Let it turn all darkness,
hide me in...
I can't have you beside me
for all be finds,
the endless splendor
only reminds me
of your tenderness...

Stop the ocean's rule
Don't let the river run!
let me hear no more
the wondrous music
of a skylark in the sun!
Let it be done...
Turn out the stars!
Turn out the stars!
Shut off your light!...
Stop every comment
and its magic lonely flight,
Let there be night!
Turn out the stars...
