Verse 1
D A
It's there on the island, it's there on the shore
Bm G
Riding the crest of a wave.
D A
It's up in the highlands, it's down in the cove
Bm G
Deep in the dark and damp cave
A Bm
Caught in the folds of a fisherman's net
G D
And next on the lines of his face
A Bm
There is feeling you'll never forget
G A
A spirit that clings to this place
D G A
And we belong to these waters
D G A
And we are born on this wind
D A G A
And when we are lost torn and tossed by these waters
G D
The spirit will carry us in
D A G D
D A
It's on the horizon, it's drifting offshore
Bm G
Out in the seabird's domain
D A
Like ring-bills arising it's drifting once more.
Bm G
No matter the wind and the rain.
A Bm
Under the water and over the fall
G D
Or painting a mystical sky
A Bm
The spirit will guide you and lead you back home.

Home in the wink of an eye.

And we belong to these waters
D G A
And we are born on this wind

Deep in December, when everything's still

The coastline is silenced by snow

You must remember those voices until
G A
The spirit starts moving below
D A G D x2

And in the beacon the life giving light
G D
For wandering over the trees
A Bm
Built by the wonder and stirred by the sight
G A
The spirit inside you won't fade.
