D A D
On the night when the stars come down

We camp there in the meadow
D A D
Far away from the lights of town
D A
Beneath the mountain’s shadow
CHORUS
D G D
The sky is alive on a mid-summer night
D G A
Before the moon comes rising
D G D
Stars will dance with their ribbons of light
D A G
Stretching to the far horizon
VERSE 2:
D A D
Silent in a field of grass
D G
We lie so still for hours
D A D
The August sky is shooting past

And the night comes down in showers

Far away the ships at sea
Bm A
Plot their lonely courses

Looking homeward just like me

To heaven’s star-lit forces
INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
VERSE 3:
D A D
Once a year in the midnight dark
D G
We watch the stars a-fallin’

And we hear the heavens callin’
