                      METEORS - John McCutcheon
---------------------------------------------------------------
VERSE 1:
DOn the night when the Astars come Ddown
We Dcamp there in the Gmeadow
DFar away from the Alights of Dtown
BeDneath the mountain’s Ashadow
CHORUS
The Dsky is alive on a Gmid-summer Dnight
DBefore the Gmoon comes Arising
DStars will dance with their Gribbons of Dlight
DStretching to the Afar hoGrizon
VERSE 2:
DSilent in a Afield of Dgrass
We Dlie so still for Ghours
The DAugust sky is Ashooting Dpast
And the Dnight comes down in sAhowers
CHORUS
BRIDGE
BmFar away the ships at sea
BmPlot their lonely Acourses
BmLooking homeward just like me
BmTo heaven’s Gstar-lit Aforces
INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
VERSE 3:
DOnce a year in the Amidnight Ddark
We Dwatch the stars a-Gfallin’
We Dsee the sky all Astreaked with Dsparks
And we Dhear the heavens Acallin’
CHORUS x2
