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
