[Verse 1]
F C
Found you in the cold
F C
A place for young and old.
F C
A trip to master motion
F G
Was the start of a long devotion.
F C
Cedar, salal
F C
Arbutus and berries.
F C
Conglomerate hills
F G
Rising over the ferries.
F C
Below the heavens,
F C
A sideways oak.
F C
The Sound of Desolation,
F G
Its watery cloak.
[Chorus 1]
F C
Hornby Island,
F C
I left you smiling.
F C
Cause here, home, or passing through,
G C F G
I bring a piece of you.
[Verse 2]
F C
We come for the community,
F C
Tranquility and time.
F C
Stay for the quiet,
F G
The art and honey wine.
F C
Gardens bloom
F C
With driftwood protection.
F C
Soft forest paths
F G
In every direction.
[Chorus 2]
F C
Hornby Island,
F C
I left you smiling.
F C
Cause here, home, or passing through,
G C
I bring a piece of you.
[Bridge]
G F
Hornby Island
G F
Eagles flyin'
G F
Cliffs above clear waters
G C F G
Purple stars below.
[Verse 3]
F C
It's memories run through us
F C
Like well-spun thread.
F C
Knitting us together
F G
Down the trails we tread.
F C
While it isn't a game,
F C
We play and play.
F C
And when we go,
G C
We also stay.
[Chorus 3]
F C
Hornby Island,
F C
I left you smiling.
F C
Cause here, home, or passing through,
G C
I've found some peace with you.
[Repeat Chorus 3]
