Karine Polwart - Terminal star

^CYou’re a beautiful ^Gtrace Of time and ^Amspace You’re a thing that once ^Fshone ^CAnd you still shine ^Gbright In the darkest ^Amnight Though you’re already ^Fgone

^CYou have travelled so ^Gfar My terminal ^Amstar In your coat so ^Fred ^CBut I still don’t know ^Ghow I can watch a thing ^Amnow When it’s already ^Fdead When it’s already ^Cdead

^CJust to reach my ^Geyes You traverse the ^Amskies For a hundred million ^Fyears ^CI behold your ^Gpower In this waukrife ^Amhour Just before it disap^Fpears

^CAll the stories in ^Gstones And in beakers and ^Ambones All the salt in the ^Fsea ^CAre eclipsed by the ^Gmight Of your fading ^Amlight You’re dying so ^Fbeautifully So ^Cbeautifully

^CYou’re a beautiful ^Gtrace Of time and ^Amspace You’re a thing that once ^Fshone ^CAnd you still shine ^Gbright In the darkest ^Amnight Though you’re already ^Fgone Though you’re already ^Cgone
