lirik lagu star of the sea – oysterband

[verse 1]
dolores left her flute in a hong kong taxi
never thought she’d see that silver wand again
so we lit a bit of joss in a tin hau temple
made a little wish as it burned to ash, amen
the goddess’ face had no expression
anything the lady knew, she wasn’t letting on—

[chorus]
star of the sea
take these prayers and throw them to the wind for me
everything gone wrong and broken
lost weekends and love unspoken
shine a light and make ’em right for me:
won’t you save this sailor from the sea?

[verse 2]
the moon was riding high over hong kong harbour
shining on the rich and the poor with an equal light
and the selling and the buying and the living and the dying never stop
even in the middle of the night
but somewhere in the city is a stranger sound
it’s the ghost of a flute, the wind over galway bay—

[chorus]
star of the sea
take these prayers and throw them to the wind for me
promises i didn’t keep
the times we made each other weep
shine a light and make ’em right for me:
won’t you save this sailor from the sea?
[bridge]
and the odds are against us
winning and losing love
stranger things can happen
than i was dreaming of
dolores took a call from hotel reception
a stranger left a box and vanished like the wind—
