Star of Wonder Lyrics

Lyric discussion by meta4 

Cover art for Star of Wonder lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

The background part at the end is: "These days, days, days run away / Like horses over the hills". Methinks it's a Charles Bukowski reference.

I agree that this song is sublime. I would guess it is a metaphorical description both Christ's incarnation on that first Christmas, and of God's nearness to the believer.

Of course, the star in the title is a reference to the star which led the Magi to the young Jesus.
