  The Maritime Star For Maritimers, there is a force which compels us to return home no matter how far we might travel. I believe we must be born with a kind of inertial guidance system that keeps us pointed in the Atlantic direction. Or perhaps we have our own star in the heavens to guide us. Listen to a clip of this song (You'll need an MP3 player to listen.) Lyrics I grew up at the bottom of the Glover's Shore road Near the place where the seawall ends Where the eel grass is high and the bank swallows fly In the shadow of the bay oyster men With one foot in the country and the other in town Trying my best to be free But at night in my bed funny dreams filled my head I heard Marg Osbourne singing to me Chorus: She said follow that star That Maritime star Don't lose sight of the water Wherever you are With sand in your pockets You can't wander too far Those big city lights Can't shine as bright As the Maritime star So if you find yourself lost on that great milky way And you can't navigate it alone Just east of Orion on the northern horizon There's a star that will guide you back home If the gold at the end of that latest rainbow Just seems to far away When the forecast is wrong and the wind is too strong Remember what Rube Hornstein said Repeat Chorus End Players Lead Vocal: Allan Rankin Drums: Dave Burton Bass: Jamie Gatti Acoustic Guitar: Chris Corrigan Fiddle: Ray Legere Backing Vocals: Laura Smith, Rita Rankin & Dave Burton Copyright Wild Garden Music (SOCAN) |
