Harbor For A Lonely Heart
Written by Kostas & Jenny Yates
Recorded by Sammy Kershaw
[Intro]
G x 4 bars
[Verse]
G C G Am D G
One day she saw with eyes wide open, she did not know much at the start
C Am C D G
And in her time of need she cried for a harbor for a lonely heart
G C G Am D G
Too many years in many places too many lines and many parts
C Am C D G
A search in hungry eyes saw only traces of a harbor for a lonely heart
[Chorus]
Eb G Eb G
Calling out to the heavens from the voice in her soul
Eb Bb D A D
In the silent night it beckons a star that guides her home
[Verse]
G C G Am D G
The moon re- flecting on the waters lights a pathway through the dark
C Am C D G
And held in unseen hands, she drifts for a harbor for a lonely heart
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Eb Bb D A D
In the silent night it beckons a star that guides her home
[Verse]
G C G Am D G
The moon re- flecting on the waters lights a pathway through the dark
C Am C D G
And held in unseen hands, she drifts for a harbor for a lonely heart
C Am C D G
Held in unseen hands, Lord, she drifts for a harbor for a lonely heart
