Am C They stood upon the deckG Am As the ship went out to seaAm C The wind it took the sailsG Am And left the land a memoryAm C All upon the shore forG Am To wonder why the sailor goesAm C All to close their eyesG Am And wonder what the sailor knowsAm C That is you to theyG Am That is how they think you areAm C Never on the landG Am But sailing by the north starAm C That is you to theyG Am That is how they think you areAm C Never on the landG Am But sailing by the north starAm C To the tower and to the ravens andG Am The tale that hopes they’ll never leaveAm C What if they should go?G Am We always dread to think of themAm C I wonder if they flew one dayG Am And no one ever knew they’d goneAm C To circle over ships at seaG Am Claiming yet another sonAm C That is you to meG Am That is where I think you areAm C Never on the landG Am But gone to find the north star
