The Hunter's Star Lyrics


The hunter's star
Burns brighter than all
Of the suns of the firmament
As through the sky he raged
With his hook and blade
And the world unmadeAs forests bow
And blacken the air
As the canopies burn away
And the arc-lights fade
And no gull remains
To repeat its callOnly now would you long
For the ancient boughs
The moon overlapping
The long white clouds
And the home life of a love
Who will never return again?No child at all would wake to the light
Of a sun that is reddening
Like a robin's breast

And no lioness boards a last
Great hull on the waves
That close, that close

Shearwater was formed by two bandmembers of Austin, TX's Okkervil River. Okkervil's back-up vocalist and accordion/keyboard player Jonathan Meiburg and singer and guitarist Will Sheff formed Shearwater so they could write quieter songs. Beginning in 2005, Sheff lessened his role in the band, leaving Meiburg as the band's songwriter from Palo Santo on. Band members today include Jonathan Meiburg, Thor Harris, Kim Burke, Lucas Oswald, with many contributions from others.
