"O My Star!" lyrics - ANAIS MITCHELL

ANAIS MITCHELL
"O My Star!"

Oh my star don't fail me now
That I have followed you from town to town
What are you rushing towards
I can't keep up with you no more
I can't catch you and I can't slow down
But I can't catch you
Oh my star, don't fail me now

Oh my heart don't fail me now
That I have carried you from town to town
Why are you so heavy for
I can't hold you any more
I can't hold you and I can't put you down
But I can't hold you
Oh my heart, don't fail me

I know where my satisfaction lies
Way beyond the blue horizon

Oh my soul, don't fail me now
That I have searched for you from town to town
Why don't you show yourself
I want to know you well
I don't know you but I won't let you down
But I don't even know you
Oh my soul, don't fail me now
