There have been too many leavings to list in one place 
Too many arrivals to ever retrace 
And all who have wandered have not fallen from grace 
Just done a few things they'd like to erase 
And met with their shadows face to face 

Up on the ridge top a coy dog cries 
It's the mother a coyote with bright yellow eyes 
A coy dog's half friendly the other half wild 
Half is homebody and half is streetwise 
It can't help its nature but God know it tries 

[Chorus]
Star light star bright 
All the dogs are restless tonight 
Leave on the porch light 
I'll be home after midnight 

It's all blessed and restless and up for debate 
A season and chance to alter a fate 
But a moment can pass just because it can't wait 
And time hits you hard with terrible weight 
Like a rock to the forehead stamped with "Too Late" 

[Chorus]

Our vision is often faulty 
We see but through the glass darkly 
And yet, we know deep down 
When we hear the sound 
When it speaks our name 

The moon eats its center until it dissolves 
Then conquers the shadow with a single resolve 
Here's to hoping for wholeness no matter how small 
Asking the questions that cannot be solved 
And following the ache of unnamable call 

[Chorus]
