You were just a distant star
A blush of rose beneath your smile
Too far away to hear, to touch
Yet always you were there
You lit my heart one winter's night
Your gentle curves, your steady gaze
Your shoulders straight, so clear your stance
I watched you turn 'til dawn lit up the day
Time so surely passes
And our rhythms shift and change
Winter love may burn in passion
Hearts may cool despite the summer flames
You measure time in eons
Distances in years of light
A heartbeat measures time for us
Dawn so quickly turns to night
We would hold what can't be bound
Search for what we cannot see
Dream of lives that transcend time
Of loves that set us free
Chorus
To some you are a hunter
To some a shepherd keeping watch
Striding across winter's darkest nights
Protecting us from harm
To me, a most familiar star
A blush of rose beneath your smile
Too far away to hear, to touch
Yet always you are there
