Hunter's moon, lantern red
The vault of night glowing overhead
Sunken church bells ring under the sea
Tolling with the waves reaching you and me

On a night sea journey pulling us through
Eons of dreams, indigo blue
East of the wind, ahead for the day
Eat of the sun, drink of the spray

Tall ships, bright stars
Carry us near, carry us far
Tall ships, bright stars
Carry us near, carry us far

An opaque mist on a shining sea
A new dawn breaking, change of scenery
Sun-kissed islands scar the southern sphere
Our journey's end, a new day without fear

Tall ships, bright stars
Carry us near, carry us far
Tall ships, bright stars
Carry us near, carry us far

Tall ships, bright stars
Carry us near, carry us far
Tall ships, bright stars
Carry us near, carry us far
