The Star of the Sea / Phil Coulter
Roma Downey
The evening is clear
As I stand by the pier
Looking over at Buncrana and Dunree
And as so often before
Oh brilliant star
I pray God that you re in Heaven
With the star of the sea
May you peacefully sleep
In the arms of the deep
May the sea that took your life now set
you free and in the dark of the night
With the wind at its height
May you guide the fearful
sailor like the star of the sea
So many times I ve thought about you
This place is not the same without you
May your soul be at rest
May your children be blessed
May you live forever in our memory
May your spirit run wild
Where you ran here as a child
And may your smile light up the Heavens
Like the star of the sea
