[Intro]
Dm C F C Am
Dm F C Am Dm
F C
I left a sign with a candle
Am Dm
In the streetlight that shone below
F
Where through the night
C Dm
The people dance in linen and smoke
Bb C Dm
I still remember her song in my head
Am
Each palm in time
Bb
Every face in that light
C Dm
As their mouths bellowed
[Melody]
Dm F Am Dm
Dm F Am Dm
F
Now they tell me she's just vanished
C Am Dm
Some other place by the sea
F
But to me she was banished
C Am Dm
By herself not by me
Bb
And though I still remember
C Dm
The streetlights are low
Am
Now dull in the night
Bb
And the dance has gone quiet
C Dm
But the sea still bellows
[Melody]
Dm F Am Dm
Dm F Am Bb C
Dm Bb C
Dm Bb
F Dm Bb
See the island on fire
C Dm Bb
And the towers align;
C Dm Bb
Built in silos of sea
C Dm Bb
Underneath every street
C Dm Bb
Lily spoke of a city's bones
C Dm Bb Dm
An ancient rubble of time and stone
Bb Am
Where the walls tremor under the sky
Bb Am
Covered day after day by the tide
Bb
Could I save them if I tried?
C Dm
If only I could
F Gm
C Dm
We shine our light across the ocean
Gm
A Troy this city has burned
C Dm
We shine our light across the ocean
Gm
A fire on ships will return
C Dm Gm
We shine our light
C Dm Gm
We shine our light
C Dm Gm
We shine our light
[Outro]
