Lyrics

The holy man he sits alone He bows his head to the altar stone He hears the kittiwake's lament For the little lost souls Through driving rain and sleet and hail He tends the candle and the kale He pours his blessings on the wind Be still, be still and watch the spray Tread lightly as you pass your way And listen Be still, be still and watch the sky Tread lightly as you pass on by And listen The beacon keeper sits alone He hears the north wind skirl and moan And when the haar comes rolling in He sounds the horn And after sunset every night He tends the fire and the light He sends the sailors safely home Be still, be still and watch the spray Tread lightly as you pass your way And listen Be still, be still and watch the sky Tread lightly as you pass on by And listen The scientist she sits alone In a cliff top hide at corner stone She tends the nests upon the rock From year to year And as the puffins wheel and spin She holds her finger to the wind She is our ear, she is our eyes Be still, be still and watch the spray Tread lightly as you pass your way And listen Be still, be still and watch the sky Tread lightly as you pass on by And listen Listen Listen
