Swallow Your Stars

In between the night and dawn,
Try and fold your wings and sleep it off
Do you weep a bitter song
From the lap to a latch
To the lack to the wronged
'Cause love ain’t for certain
‘Till it’s so long gone
There’s a wishing glass you can lean on
From the chip to the crack
It comes tumbling down
Swallow your stars,
Weak for the strong
A beggar of bravery
Brings its rewards
All along now, sing it along
Swallow your stars,
Kindle them all
Rise from the ash of your dust and your sparks,
All along now,
Swallow your stars
So you tow that weight along
Set deep in bone, no you can’t shake it off
And at night you lay sleepless in form
From the foot to the mouth
To the shame in your heart
And who will forgive you, you’re so long lost
When you wake you will repeat that song,
You can follow your steps
But you can’t fix the harm
Swallow your stars,
Shuffle the cards
Bridle your shadows and brace for the fall,
All along now,
Sing it along
Swallow your stars,
Drink deep and long
Pulled from the embers send your regards
All along now,
Say it along
