Starlight, star bright
First or second on the right?
I never thought my memory
Would fail to hold the way
But little things betray themselves
In slipping rhymes, in dying bells
And Neverland
Grows smaller, every day.
I wish I may, I wish I might
But someone hid the stars tonight
I never thought these dazzled eyes
Would let them go astray
But little things begin to blur
The colors innocence confers
On Neverland
Grow fainter, every day.
In all my dreams, I did not leave
But now I climb the wind, to grieve
Among the willows, one last time,
And see my world away.
The little lights are shining still
They kiss the canopies and hills
Of Neverland,
Unknowing and at play.
When tears and love have overflowed
They keep some portion of a soul
I’ll catch it in a crystal flask
And leave it at your door
I wish, I wish, with all my might
That dawn would never follow night
But Neverland
Can’t hold us anymore.
When, as it will, my heart grows old
When yesterday is long ago
When long ago’s a fairy tale
And all my flying through
I’ll leave the window open wide
Watch for the star, and turn my eyes
To Neverland
And I will think of you.
I could listen to Lauren sing forever. Her writing is vivid and sensitive, sweetly and painfully human--never apologizing for sharp corners and rough edges. The beauty of her spirit shines through. Summer Russell

Hi Talis! I heard you sing this on your song swap with Piers, I absolutely love it and in fact I am nicking it to be the first song I learn to play with my new CONCERTINA. V appropriate for a sailor’s song. I promise it won’t be a shanty when I’m done. bohemiancoast

I first heard Cathy and fell in love with her music in filk circle at a con. This album perfectly recreates the feeling of that environment. All the songs on the album are fantastic, highlighting Cathy’s pure and warm vocals and guitar. Kevin Heard
