lyrics

(The sky is the sea, the sky is the sea,
the sky is an ocean, the sky is the sea)

Saint Placid slips beneath, the boy is drowning, the boy is drowning
The spirit moves Old Ben, go and save him, go and save him
Saint Maurus races down, walks on water, walks on water
Placid’s placid, Placid’s placid

Stella Maris, you kept him home

A sailor clings to a rock, it’s spinning blue, spinning green,
Floating deep in the sea, it’s spinning blue, spinning green,
The water fills his lungs, he’s sinking deeper, sinking deeper,
He’s slipping out of reach, floating deep in the sea

Stella Maris, take him home

The children splash in the waves, riptide warning, riptide warning
The moon reached down, it grabbed their mother, dragged her under
Shadow darkens the moon, the lights are out, the lights are out
Who can light the lighthouse fire? Where’s the star to lead us home?

Stella Maris, lead us home
