Star of the harbour
Guide this boat to safe crossing
Well we can't last another night drifting
Over heavy Atlantic swell
Star of the harbour
The gulls are all bickering
Over our floating things
Our souvenirs, our souvenirs of dry land
Are their curiosities
And our sails folded like a losing hand
Maybe this time tomorrow
There'll be lights along the waterfront
To celebrate our late homecoming
But until that time
Call off the tempest
Or my bones will be powder
And mixed with the coral
Star of the harbour
Star of the harbour
Star of the harbour
Star of the harbour
Steer us home, homeward
