Lyrics: Joan Beckow
Music: Joan Beckow
Guided by the stars I go
Guided by the flight of birds
Guided by a vision growing inside me
Chided by a quiet voice
Whispering I must believe
Telling me I have no choice but to leave
Telling me the winds are growing stronger
Telling me to tarry here no longer
Guided by the stars I’ll do things no man has done before
Riding every wave, I’ll get to that distant shore
And when I find my dream has, at last, come true
Guided by the stars, guided by the stars
I’ll come sailing home to you
You’re going away, and I feel this yearning
I want you to stay
Will I ever understand the dreams that taunt you so?
You’re going away, and the wheel keeps turning
Why must it be so that my lucky star seems oh, so far?
Here, I’ll abide until the running tide
Brings you back to my door
To my aching arms
Brings you back to the shores of my love
I say to every star I see
Guide him safely ‘cross the sea
I’ll stay with the moon
And pray that you soon
Sail back home to me
