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 port light

Starboard the green

How will she know of the demons 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 die

And water's my grave

She'll never know if i'm damned or I'm saved

See the ghost fly over the sea

Under the moonlight, there she can safely go

Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso
