A Star Has Come Calling

Em Em C A star has come calling; let us go see G D For the sky is on fire with streamers of gold Em C A thousand year’s tale, a deep history G D C Em The cycle of life forever foretold C D A warm autumn night, a low breeze enfolding C G D Mitsuha standing, frozen in time G D C Em Tangled in threads, a memory holding C D Em An offering made, a mountain to climb Em C Where is the ribbon I wore in my hair? G D Whose is this face that I see in the mirror? Em C Who will stand witness to know I was there G D C When sleepers awaken and dreams disappear? A star has come calling, and fate weaves a story Sifting and shifting like ripples in wine The old gods are laughing, drunk in their glory Ashes and pain are the dregs which are mine In journey, to struggle; is it worth the cost? To find Itomori, a place I’ve not known Except that I’ve seen it in visions now lost I cannot deny what the old gods has shown Where is the girl whose face haunts my dreams? What is this ribbon I wear on my wrist? Forgotten names, so familiar it seems As part of my soul that somehow I’ve missed A star has come falling, is this what must be? But twilight is threading the seams between worlds Here is the face from my dreams now before me Future and past like a dome of bright pearl She gives me a smile as I give her the band But fear fills her eyes as the shadows stretch on I write down my name in the palm of her hand Then with a whisper of breeze she is gone Where are the names which we shared in our dreaming? What is this feeling we cannot deny? The red thread that bind us, a silvered moon gleaming With love spanning lifetimes that never will die
