Verse 1
Bm G Bm A
A foreign shore behind me and a hundred more to go,
G Bm G A Bm
On stormy seas and starless nights, caught on a cold wind’s blow.
Bm G Bm A
So many years have put my battered bow up to the test,
G Bm G A Bm
A long-forgotten promise coming home at last to rest.
Chorus
D Bm G D
For even in this darkness something calls for me to find,
Bm G D A
And cities may all turn to ash, and stone walls fall to time,
D Bm G D
My love still lies there buried under silent ice in sleep,
Bm G Bm A Bm
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn’t keep.
Verse 2
Bm G Bm A
I stole you from another but you knew I’d leave someday,
G Bm G A Bm
I felt the tide pull on my bones told you I couldn’t stay.
Bm G Bm A
I made a bet that I’d return and someday soon I will,
G Bm G A Bm
And though I’m many years too late, I hope you’ve waited still.
Chorus
D Bm G D
For even in this darkness something calls for me to find,
Bm G D A
And cities may all turn to ash, and stone walls fall to time,
D Bm G D
My love still lies there buried under silent ice in sleep,
Bm G Bm A Bm
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn’t keep.
Verse 3
Bm G Bm A
I’ve been to Ceylon’s bluest coasts and back to Amsterdam,
G Bm G A Bm
And conquered mighty swells with just the line beneath my hands.
Bm G Bm A
And now I rest far in the north, a broken heart to lie,
G Bm G A Bm
Forever under tattered sails and ‘neath the blackened sky.
Chorus
D Bm G D
For even in this darkness something calls for me to find,
Bm G D A
And cities may all turn to ash, and stone walls fall to time,
D Bm G D
My love still lies there buried under silent ice in sleep,
Bm G Bm A Bm
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn’t keep.
