Mally Smith - Follow the Stars Lyrics

Oh sailor, oh sailor
The glow of the moon and the swell of the sea
If you follow the stars where will they lead?
Oh sailor, oh sailor
I know well the pull of the tide
The high and the low and the thrill of the ride
Oh sailor
Oh mother, oh mother
I'm so different from you I fear
My heart on an ocean so far from here
And oh father, oh father
If I brave the waters will you be the shore?
A light in the tower, a port in the storm?
Oh father...
Could I sail away
With breath and wind to guide me?
Could I sail away home?
Oh love, oh love
Will I ever anchor, will I ever stay?
Or could you be the sails, could that be my way?
Oh love...
Could I sail away
With breath and wind to guide me?
Could I sail away home?
Oh sailor, oh sailor
The glow of the moon and the swell of the sea
If I follow the stars where will they lead me?
