So ugly the heavens hide
When she looks toward the sky
The face rays fear to show
A visage they light from below
During the day she must hide
So she doesn't scare the light
She lives in shadow until fall of dusk
Then sees the shining star and dares to ask
Paint my face with your beauty
Morning Star, oh shine
On this mask of mine
Let your light embrace
My dreadful deface
Tell me I am not maligned
Ugly, you are ugly. You, you are ugly.
I went alone into the dark
I no longer hear the larks
I saw sun-children in the crowd, and so
I wept into the clouds
Morning Star, oh shine
On this love of mine
Let your light embrace
Her dreadful deface
Tell her she is not maligned
Morning Star, oh shine
On this soul of mine
May your warm light mend
A heart that is rent
Tell her that I'm weeping
Because you're so ugly
You are plainly ugly
People live by their eyes
Grace is what they want to find
But you, you are no dream, no
Morning Star, oh shine
On this love of mine
Let your light embrace
Her dreadful deface
Tell her she is not maligned
And the star will shine
On this love of mine
It warms my grieved heart
My most vital part
It can see its cure
She is all allure
