Dark Sky, North Star
Holworks Music | Original Song by Mark S. HolmanA quiet sailor’s chant for the nights when everything else drifts. “Dark Sky, North Star” is a simple, limerick-true guide light—an old wives’ tale that finally came true. From wilder younger sails and fleeting fires to the cold, quiet hull where one fixed point is enough, this song is about finding the only steady light that still shows the way when the rest of the sky falls apart.
It’s the reminder to keep sailing, to arrive, and to trust the single star that never turns back.
Dark Sky, North Star
light me through the black
You’re the only fixed point
when the rest of the sky falls apart
you light up the dark
Written, performed & produced by Mark Holman

Dark Sky, North Star
To me it is a limerick
I can throw off my tongue tip
I have the coordination
to sail the breath of it
Dark Sky, North Star
old wives’ tale that came true
A sailor’s chant, a quiet light
to remind me what to do
Younger nights were wilder sails
and games I barely knew
Chasing every fleeting fire
until the darkness grew
Dark Sky, North Star
light me through the black
Dark Sky, North Star
don’t you ever turn back
You’re the only fixed point
when the rest of the sky falls apart
Dark Sky, North Star
you light up the dark
Hull is quiet, air is cold
stars are all I see
One steady light above the night
is enough for me
Dark Sky, North Star
light me through the black
Dark Sky, North Star
don’t you ever turn back
You’re the only fixed point
when the rest of the sky falls apart
Dark Sky, North Star
you light up the dark
I used to need a thousand lights
just to feel alive
Now I only need the one
that teaches me to arrive
Dark Sky, North Star
light me through the black
Dark Sky, North Star
don’t you ever turn back
You’re the only fixed point
when the rest of the sky falls apart
Dark Sky, North Star
you light up the dark
(you light up the dark…)
