VOCES8 performs Underneath the Stars by Kate Rusby, arranged by Jim Clements. The performance was recorded and filmed at the Gresham Centre in London in 2017

Underneath the stars I’ll meet you.
Underneath the stars I’ll greet you.
There beneath the stars I’ll leave you,
before you go of your own free will.
Go gently, go gently.

Underneath the stars you met me.
Underneath the stars you left me.
I wonder if the stars regret me.
At least you’ll go of your own free will.
Go gently, go gently.

Here beneath the stars I’m landing.
Here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I’m here again, the stars befriending.
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently, go gently.

Underneath the stars you met me.
Underneath the stars you left me.
I wonder if the stars regret me.
I’m sure they’d like me if they only met me.
They come and go of their own free will
