What is your reasons for interpretting "Star of Wonder" this way?
Being on the Roches Christmas album ("We Three Kings" -- which you
should buy and play over and over this season) and having the very
Christian theme of a star which shepherds follow, the song seemed to
have a straightforward meaning.

By the way, did I mention that you should buy the Roches' Christmas
album? Oh, I see that I did. Well, another reminder shouldn't hurt.
