The North Star Grassman And The Ravens |
They stood upon the deck |
As the ship went out to sea |
The wind it took the sails |
And left the land a memory |
All upon the shore for |
To wonder why the sailor goes |
All to close their eyes |
And wonder what the sailor knows |
That is you to them |
That is how they think you are |
Never on the land |
But sailing by the north star |
To the tower and to the ravens |
And the tale that hopes they’ll never leave |
What if they should go? |
We always dread to think of them |
I wonder if they flew one day |
And no-one ever knew they’d gone |
To circle over ships at sea |
Claiming yet another son |
That is you to me |
That is where I think you are |
Never on the land |
But gone to find the north star |
