the Seven Sisters

I want to see your goodness around me
but it's got the properties of water - transparent as glass
Your goodness is coiled like a fist,
holed up in the back of the attic
and crouched like a cat
You said i look like a stone sinking
but i am a constellation cut out in the sky
and if i have stopped burning,
would you know in your lifetime?
Is your goodness around me?
Has it got the properties of water?
Is it going fast?
Your goodness is coiled like a fist,
disguised in this incredible racket
and crouched like a cat
You said i looked just like a stone sinking,
but i am a constellation cut out in the sky
and if i have stopped burning,
will you know in your lifetime?
I am a constellation.
I'll guide you through the night.
And if i have stopped burning,
would you know in your lifetime?
And should i feel cold and far?
And should i feel weightless?
Do you ever hear what the stars are saying to you?
Is your goodness somewhere between the sinking and the orbiting?
[guitar solo]
And should i feel cold and far?
And should i feel weightless?
I imagine safety in the stars
because you make so many wishes.
Do you ever hear what the stars are saying to you? (to you)
I want to see your goodness around me. [3x]
