Valparaiso Lyrics

Chase the dog star 
Over the sea 
Home where my true love is waiting for me 
Rope the South wind 
Canvas the stars 
Harness the moonlight 
So she can safely go 
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
  
Red the post light 
Starboard the green 
How will she know of the devils I've seen 
Cross in the sky, star of the sea 
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go 
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
  
And every road I walked would take me down to the sea 
With every broken promise in my sack 
And every love would always send the ship of my heart 
Over the rolling sea
  
If I should ever die 
And water's my grave 
She'll never know if I'm damned or if I'm saved 
See the ghost fly over the sea 
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go 
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
