Standard (EADGBE)

Sailing out across the quiet sea

Saying that your ship is much too small for me

Sailing to where you may be happy

Off to where you're out of reach

Left your lifebelt on the beach

Off to where you'll be so calm

Far from harm

 Starshy, shy, shy, shy

 I turned to talk to you last night

 But your star's shining so bright

 Starshy, shy, shy, shy

 It's hard to sleep when you shine down

 It's hard to speak without sound

Sailing back across the stormy sea

Saying that you've never been so lonely

Sailing back to where you may be happy

Lost your compass, lost your map

Lost your way, there's no way back

Giant wave on Orkney Sound

Lost, not found

 Starshy, shy, shy, shy

 I turned to talk to you last night

 But your star's shining so bright

 Starshy, shy, shy, shy

 It's hard to sleep when you shine down

 It's hard to speak without sound

Angels taking you from me

 Taking you high, as a star and friend

 Starshy, shy, shy, shy

 I turned to talk to you last night

 But your star's shining so bright

 Starshy, shy, shy, shy

 It's hard to sleep when you shine down

 It's hard to speak without sound
