Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise.
With them, how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars.
Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars.
Chorus:
Who has placed the midnight sky
So a spirit has to fly?
As the heavens seem so far
Now, who will hang1 the midnight star?
Night has brought to those who sleep
Only dreams they cannot keep.
I have legends in the deep
Paint the sky with stars.
Chorus
Place a name upon the night,
One to set your heart alight
And to make the darkness bright
Paint the sky with stars.
1 "paint" is sung instead of "hang".
