D Bm D Bm
Verse 1:
D Bm
Along the quayside you were a light
D Bm
And I, a reflection, lay across the river and the night
D Bm
You were transfixed on me and I was mesmerised
G
And names were whispered to and by you and I
Verse 2:
D Bm
The tides began to steal away from morning light
D Bm
As night receded river walls seemed to grow high
D Bm
Then you climbed down into my arms and closed your eyes
G
When we awoke we had been drifting
Chorus
D
We didn't mean to go to sea
Bm/A
We didn't mean to drift away
Bm
We never planned to up and leave
G
But still the sea took us away
D
We saw no lands on the horizon
Bm/A
No distant shores along the fray
Bm
Yet all the more we found ourselves
G
When we got lost at sea that day
Verse 3:
D Bm
Timbers creaked, all else was quiet and relieved
D Bm
Except the infant waves that licked and lapped along the eaves
D Bm
It had to dawn on us, our truth had been believed
G
Beyond all lies and jealousy
Verse 4:
D
We sailed high wind half-mast
Bm D
Due north, towards the edge of our dreams grateful borders
Bm
That matched our speed to stay ahead
D
The afternoon was bleeding to death
Bm
And soon the sky was racing red
G
To see the stars remove their hats out of respect
(Chorus Repeat)
