Biography:
The Waterboys is a British celtic band formed in 1983 by Scottish musician Mike Scott. Their songs, largely written by Scott, often contain literary references and are frequently concerned with spirituality. Both the group and its members' solo careers have received much praise from both rock and folk music critics, but The Waterboys as a band has never received the commercial success that some of its members (such as Ian McNabb, leader of The Icicle Works; Trevor Hutchinson, a founding member of Lúnasa; etc) have had independently.

Capo II (Sounding D major)
[Verse]
C Em
I would that we were, my beloved
F
White birds on the foam of the sea
G Am
Far from the rose and the lily
F G C
And the fret of the flames would we be
[Chorus]
C Em
And the flame of the blue star of twilight
F
Hung low on the rim of the sky
G Am
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved
F G C
A sadness that may never die
F G C
A sadness that may never die
C Em
A weariness comes from those dreamers
F
Dew-dabbled, the lily and rose
G Am
Ah, dream not of that, my beloved
F G C
The flame of the meteor that goes
C Em
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers
F
Hung low in the fall of the dew
G Am
For I would we were changed, my beloved
F G C
To white birds on the foam, I and you
F G C
To white birds on the foam, I and you
[Bridge]
Em
Bend low, that I may crown you
Em
Flower of the branch
Am
Silver fish my hands have taken
Am
From the running stream
F
Morning star, trembling in the heavens
G
Like a white fawn on the border of a wood
G
Bend that I may crown you
G
That I may crown you
[Chorus]
C Em
And the flame of the blue star of twilight
F
Hung low on the rim of the sky
G Am
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved
F G C
A sadness that may never die
F G C
A sadness that may never die
C Em
Soon far from the rose and the lily
F
And fret of the flames would we be
G Am
Were we only white birds, my beloved
F G C
White birds on the foam of the sea
F G C
White birds on the foam of the sea
[Verse]
C Em
I would that we were, my beloved

White birds on the foam of the sea
