When I open my eyes and I gasp for breath,

There's a hammering pain and a wish for death

Yet trough the haze of agony;

I see a glorious visage glaring o'er me

With quivering hands I reach for the light

Crack the cap and revitalize

So take my hand, o morning star,

And guide me through this dark

Star in the morning, star in the night.

Hazing the vision, drinking the light

Star in the morning, star in the night,

Making my pain subside

Star in the morning, star in the night.

Hazing the vision, drinking the light

Star in the evening, all through the night,

Making my pain subside

Cut this cognac it seems fine,

Never fails to set me right

Gazing the neck and the open hole,

The light will take it's toll

Star on the bottle, stars in the sky,

I'm lost in the river of time

So take my hand, o morning light,

And guide me through this night

Blessed be the morning, blessed be the night

Blessed be the star that gives me the might!

Starlight makes my pain subside!
