Lodestar by Sarah Harmer
Performed by
Sarah HarmerAbout
Written in the heart of winter in Matane, Quebec, while Harmer was on tour. She said she was dreaming of a place and time that was warmer. While writing the song, she opened up a book of poems by D.H. Lawrence. She transcribed lines of the first poem she encountered (“New Year’s Eve”) into the lyric...
Lodestar Lyrics
Out of the night, into the water
We push the boat from shore
Breaking the air in the stillness of the bay
Intensity of stars reflected in the harbour
Silently ignite
The oar dips in to oil like water and we
Are away
Your hand won't write, not tonight
But your mind may wander
Into those deep lagoons that you know
And your boat will go, by starlight alone
"Da da da da da da da da"
You sang to the moon
In the great black night with no lodestar
In sight
Out in the night, out on the water
We pull the boat back to shore
Breathing the air in the stillness of the bay
Intensity of stars reflected in the water
Silently ignite
The oar dips in to oil like water and we
Are away
Under the moon
In the great black night with no lodestar
In sight
And wait for it
There are only two things now
This great black night
And the fire glow
Listen, the darkness rings
The darkness
Listen, the darkness rings
And wait for it
There are only two of us now
This great black night scooped out
And this fire glow
Listen, the darkness rings
The darkness
Listen, the darkness rings
Take off your things
And listen, the darkness rings
