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 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
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
Valparaiso

Valparaiso
Valparaiso
