Sailing out across the quiet sea

Saying that your ship is much too small for me

Sailing to where you may be happy



Off to where you're out of reach

Left your lifebelt on the beach

Off to where you'll be so calm

Far from harm



Starshy, shy, shy, shy

I turned to talk to you last night

But your star's shining so bright

Starshy, shy, shy, shy

It's hard to sleep when you shine down

It's hard to speak without sound



Sailing back across the stormy sea

Saying that you've never been so lonely

Sailing back to where you may be happy



Lost your compass, lost your map

Lost your way, there's no way back

Giant wave on Orkney Sound

Lost, not found



Angels taking you from me

Taking you high, as a star and friend
