Sandy Denny - The North Star Grassman Lyrics
They stood upon the deckAs the ship went out to sea.The wind it took the sailsAnd left the land a memory.All upon the shore forTo wonder why the sailor goes.All to close their eyesAnd 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 ravensAnd the tale that hopes theyll never leave.What if they should go?We always dread to think of them.I wonder if they flew one dayAnd no-one ever knew theyd goneTo 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.
