Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder

I call you from the comet’s cradle. / I found you trembling by yourself. / When the night falls lightly on your right-wing shoulder; / wonderful know-it-all slightly where the night gets colder.

Oh, conscience, where will you carry me? / I found you, star of terrifying effigies. / When the night falls, I carry myself to the fortress / of your glorious coat. Oh, I may seek your fortress?

When the night falls, we see the star of wonder. / Wonderful night falls, we see you, we see you.

I see the stars coming down there; coming down there to the yard. / I see the stars coming down there; coming down there to my heart.

I see the stars coming down there, coming down there to the yard.

These days, days, days run away, like horses over the hills.
