Sailing out across the quiet sea

Sailing to where you may be happy
E                   F#m
Off to where you're out of reach
G                  A
Left your lifebelt on the beach

Off to where you'll be so calm

Far from harm

    A         E    Bm
Starshy, shy, shy, shy
  C#m               D
I turned to talk to you last night
         C#m                 D   E
But your star's shining so bright
    A         E    Bm
Starshy, shy, shy, shy

It's hard to sleep when you shine down
     C#m                   D     E A
It's hard to speak without sound

Sailing back to where you may be happy
E                  F#m
Lost your compass, lost your map
G                      A
Lost your way, there's no way back

Giant wave on Orkney Sound

Lost, not found

Taking you high, as a star and friend
