North Star
On the strand beneath the towering cliffs,We said goodbye to the helmsmanThe best man I ever sailed withAcross the seven oceansSteering, gazing out aheadAs the ragged crew were singingAnd the wild life and stories toldAs the misty dawns were breakingAnd the North Star is not a bright starBut a guiding starIt took us over mountains to the EastThrough the maze of city streetsTo the Sennen Cove shoreTonight I stood in the empty streetAs a heavy snow was fallingI saw a flight of geese passing fast and low just above the rooftopsGodspeed and I thought of himAs they vanished into the white-outAnd Godspeed to all of usVanishing into the white-outAnd the North Star is not a bright starBut helmsman's starHe took us over mountains to the EastThrough the maze of city streetsTo the Sennen Cove shore
