G F E
[VERSE 1]
Am C
Sand, sand in her toes
Am E
Hand holding her hand
Am C
Wind ripples her clothes
G F E
Where the water meets the land
[VERSE 2]
Am C
Gone, gone is the loneliness
Am E
Lost, lost are the tears
Am C
Ebbing away with the tide
G F Am
Waves of love wash away fears
[REFRAIN 1]
Dm Am
But then the daylight laced her face
Dm E
With morn’s refreshing gleam
Am C
And as soon as she woke
Dm
She recognized
Am Em Am
It all was only a dream
[VERSE 3]
Am C
Left, left every other care
Am E
Made, made for that place
Am C
Cold, shivering, but filled with fire
G F E
To find his warm embrace
[VERSE 4]
Am C
Day, Day after day she’d search
Am E
For Those envied shores
Am C
Driven by the relentless urge
G F E
To find what she adored
[REFRAIN 2]
Dm Am
Soon she lay her eyes upon
Dm Em
The seaside from her dreams
Am C Dm
And swore upon her beating heart
Am E Am
To daily walk that beach
[VERSE 4]
Am C
Time, time was her only friend
Am E
As she journeyed that coast
Am C
Months passed away unobserved
G F E
Eclipsed by the lure of the ghost
[BRIDGE]
Am
Suddenly she found
E
The waves were churning
Am
Wind began to howl
E
And whipped her like a scourge
Am
Everywhere around
E
The storm was surging
Am
Hear the thunder sound
E
And lightning flash in turn
Am E
Lost and alone
Am E
Far from her home
Am C Dm
She saw at once that all was lost
Am E Am
Her life at the will of the swell
[VERSE 5]
Am C
Until through all the flood and foam
Am E
She saw an outstretched hand
Am C
Standing strong in the raging gale
G F Am
Was her elusive man
[REFRAIN 3]
Dm Am
Please take care of me, she said
Dm E
Please don’t let me drown
Am C Dm
But as soon as she spoke the tide rushed in
Am E Am
And ripped her feet from the ground
Dm Am
Then the phantom faded thin
Dm E
Melting into the storm
Am C Dm
A faded smile flecked his lips
Am
As he claimed another victim to his charms
Am C
Am E
Am C
G F Am
