A wave came swept me off of the deck
C7 Em G C
Angry sea gives and takes it away
C7 Em G C C7 Em G
I kept on swimming, singing, searching for an island or garden to lie in
C C7 Em G C C7
The rain kept on falling on to my arms and legs
Em G C
They anchored me to slate gray water
C7 Em G C
The albatross around my neck made it
C7 Em G C
Hard to look up to see the sky
C7 Em G C C7 Em G C
I dreamt of the sand of your beach where I’d come ashore
C7 Em G C C7 Em G
Wake up a little saddle soar but make it home
C C7 Em G C C7 Em G C C7 Em G C
C7 Em G C
I was smashed somewhere in between
C7 Em G C
A murky sky and the coming tide, the coming tide
C7 Em G
Everyday the same swimming, sinking, feeling
C C7 Em G C
We rose, my rose but we did a lot of falling
C7 Em G C C7 Em G C
As they pulled me from their nets, stood on the deck
C7 Em G C C7 Em G C
Arms out stretched to the horizons where I saw you
C7 Em G C C7
Sailing over oceans frozen in your doorway and me
Em G C
Stumbling down your streets speaking
C7 Em G C C7 Em G C
Incoherently with the night
C7 Em G C
I was dreaming of your white sand
C7 Em G
unblackened by time and time again
C C7 Em G C C7 Em G
Where I could find some common ground to kiss and call my own
