Who can befriend that morning star
That morning star
Didn't he come to mock the dead?
Small wonder my heart fled so far
Who can befriend that morning star?

Who can forgive a God that dies
A God that dies
Vanishing into bitter day
Small wonder my heart fled so far
Who can befriend that morning star?

Didn't they run like racing boys
Like racing boys
While I stumble over me
Small wonder my heart fled so far
Who can befriend that morning star?

I hid my aces in a widow's lap
In a widow's lap
And tried to win them back again
Small wonder my heart fled so far
Who can befriend that morning star?

Only the living love that star
That morning star
How can they live who love the dead?
Small wonder my heart fled so far
Who can befriend that morning star?

Morning star
Look down on me
Look down on me
And take me where my love has gone
Small wonder my heart fled so far
Who can befriend that morning star?
