"Star Lover"

Like other songs I've posted for Bardic Zoom, this is just so very difficult to find lyrics for on the Internet! Although "Marshall Don't 'Low" was mine, and so is "Does Dragon Taste Better?", even though several people swear they've heard both of them before. Sometimes art is so natural, it feels like plagiarism.

The Three Rivers Bardic an open meeting, if you feel like having a sing-along with a bunch of dorks who are, y'know, the coolest. DM for link.

"Star Lover," Craig of Farrington

Brother Gregory, tell me a story.
The stars are out tonight, in all their glory.
Brother Gregory, tell me a story,
Reveal to me the past that's now before me.

Leo's high up in the sky,
Above him are three pairs
Of stars: it looks like spring deer tracks:
A chase has led through there!
She's escaped the lion, but she's running to the bear.
In spring each year, the skies appear this way.

Brother Gregory, tell me a story.
The stars are out tonight, in all their glory.
Brother Gregory, tell me a story,
Reveal to me the past that's now before me.

Vega is the vulture
Can't you you see him spiral down?
Deneb, that's the tail of the swan above the town.
The third bright star is Altair,
There the eagle can be found,
Through summer skies, they'll always fly this way.

Brother Gregory, tell me a story.
The stars are out tonight, in all their glory.
Brother Gregory, tell me a story,
Reveal to me the past that's now before me.

Andromeda's as lovely as Cassiope is vain
The princess must be sacrificed so Cepius can still reign,
Perseus kills the monster,
But they'll all return again.
The drama of the autumn plays this way.

Brother Gregory, tell me a story.
The stars are out tonight, in all their glory.
Brother Gregory, tell me a story,
Reveal to me the past that's now before me.

In China, bright Orion is the prince that won the day,
The younger brother had to live his live so far away,
And what we call "The Scorpion," that's where he had to stay.
Look long, perhaps you'll see it this way.

Brother Gregory, tell me a story.
The stars are out tonight, in all their glory.
Brother Gregory, tell me a story,
Reveal to me the past that's now before me.
