Underneath the Stars
Kate Rusby (b. 1973) / arr. Jim Clements (b. 1983)
Elyse Delaney, mezzo soprano; John Lindsay-Botten, tenor

Underneath the stars I’ll meet you,

Underneath the stars I’ll greet you,
There beneath the stars I’ll leave you
Before you go of your own free will.
Go gently.

Underneath the stars you met me,
Underneath the stars you left me,

I wonder if the stars regret me,
At least you’ll go of your own free will.
Go gently.

Here beneath the stars I’m landing,
And here beneath the stars not ending.
Why on earth am I pretending?
I’m here again, the stars befriending,
They come and go of their own free will.
Go gently.

Underneath the stars you met me.
And underneath the stars you left me.
I wonder if the stars regret me?
I’m sure they’d like me if they only
met me,
They come and go of their own free will.
Go gently.
