[Verse]
N.C.
I want clear water from here to the horizon
N.C.
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
N.C.
Fair weather as we head for the skyline
N.C.
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water as we sail out to the head
F Em Dm G
All I want to hear is the ripple from the bow
F C G Am
Let us be at ease now and know our true position
F C G C
Like a compass to the star, like a team hooked to the plough
[Verse]
F Em
And as for all the history, it's best it's left unwritten
Dm C Dm G
Few would believe if we told all we have seen
F C G Am
Comedy and tragedy have come along unbidden
F C G C
They are the port and starboard that we sail in between
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water for each new destination
F Em Dm G
And if the storm should break we will take it in our stride
F C G Am
We rode out the tempest when the clouded stars were hidden
F C G C
And the rising of the moon proved to be a fickle guide
[Verse]
F Em
And if we hear the timbers creak, we'll be give and take
Dm C Dm G
Voices from outside, we know our craft is strong
F C G Am
As long as we can speak without raising our voices
F C G C
The music of the storm is in the guarding of the song
[Bridge]
G
At night upon the deck I want to feel the salty spray
F G
Like warm tears on my face for the passing of the day
F Em
I watch the wheeling star 'til the light breaks in the east
Dm G
May the journey never end, let us be at peace
[Instrumental]
F C G Am F Em Dm G
F C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water from here to the horizon
F Em Dm G
Maybe scarred and feathered, but who'd say we were wrong
F C G Am
The journey not the goal was the only thing that mattered
F C G C
While the wounds you thought had healed can still be opened by a song
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water from here to the horizon
F Em Dm G
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
F C G Am
Fair weather as we head for the skyline
F C G C
Clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
F C G C
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
