Merrigan: Catching Stars

I wrote this song back in 2011, and the first version of it was absolutely awful (as was the second, eheh) but I still have a soft spot for the melody. Because of my trip, I didn't have time to finish any of my bigger projects before the end of the month, so I decided to record a little lullaby version of one of my very first original songs.
I hope you enjoy.

Also, as you can see, I really am in need of some good camera lighting. I guess that's my next target to save for, huh?

LYRICS:
Barefoot in the snow she goes
Roads are hidden deep beneath the snows
And didn't she lose something?
Wasn't there somebody right behind me?

Oh the stars in the sky
If I could just reach them
I might find my way back again

She started to climb the tree so tall
To reach those lights
It was cold and hard to hold on
Yet she persevered

Oh the stars in the sky
If I could just reach them
I might find my way back again

Up at the crown of the tree
She knew she saw the whole world
Reaching out to touch those lights
Did not notice her cold foot slipping

Oh child
Don't you know there is nothing out there?
Only false lights
And a vacant promise of guiding you home
