Intro
Verse 1:
Along the quayside you were a light
D BmAnd I, a reflection, lay across the river and the night
D BmYou were transfixed on me and I was mesmerised
And names were whispered to and by you and I
Verse 2:
D BmThe tides began to steal away from morning light
As night receded river walls seemed to grow high
D BmThen you climbed down into my arms and closed your eyes
GWhen we awoke we had been drifting
ChorusD
We didn't mean to go to sea
Bm/AWe didn't mean to drift away
We never planned to up and leave
GBut still the sea took us away
DWe saw no lands on the horizon
No distant shores along the fray
BmYet all the more we found ourselves
GWhen we got lost at sea that day
Verse 3:
D BmTimbers creaked, all else was quiet and relieved
D BmExcept the infant waves that licked and lapped along the eaves
It had to dawn on us, our truth had been believed
GBeyond all lies and jealousy
Verse 4:
We sailed high wind half-mast
Bm DDue north, towards the edge of our dreams grateful borders
BmThat matched our speed to stay ahead
The afternoon was bleeding to death
BmAnd soon the sky was racing red
GTo see the stars remove their hats out of respect
(Chorus Repeat)
