lyrics

Sight for stars, the masthead gave thee
through fog or frost or rain, the ability to see
hoist your food, with a tackle old Stylite
die where you lived your post, ere never short of sight

Rather lifeless, these men are made of stone
face out another gale, or lose your home
trust what you see, for we will trust in you
steer clear of rocks and lust, when sea maidens ensue

Masthead, help me find my home
Masthead, it's good to be alone

From the rise till the set of the sun, alone it may endear
be you a dreamer, then dream with eyes that peer
no news or worries, only battles with your mind
the crow's nest will keep you warm, through all that you might find

Sight for stars, the masthead gave thee
through fog or frost or rain, the ability to see
depend upon your weather eye, watch for a white whale
harpoon the pit where your heart sits for when you sail

Masthead, help me find my home
masthead, it's good to be alone
Masthead, help me find my home
masthead, it's good to be alone
