Bm B9
An old man by a seashore
Mm B*
At the end of day
A G
Gazes the horizon
A Bm
With seawinds in his face
Bm B9
Tempest-tossed island
Mm B*
Seasons all the same
A G
Anchorage unpainted
A Bm
And a ship without a name
Bm B9 Mm B*
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A G A Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm B9 Mm B*
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A G A Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[CHOURS]
Bm G D A Bm
This is for long-forgotten
Gm D Em Bm
Light at the end of the world
Gm D A Bm
Horizon crying
Gm D Em
The tears he left behind long ago
Bm B9
The albatross is flying
Mm B*
Making him daydream
A G
The time before he became
A Bm
One of the world's unseen
Bm B9
Princess in the tower
Mm B*
Children in the fields
A G
Life gave him it all:
A Bm
An island of the universe
Bm B9
Now his love's a memory
Mm B*
A ghost in the fog
A G
He sets the sails one last time
A Bm
Saying farewell to the world
Bm B9
Anchor to the water
Mm B*
Seabed far below
A G
Grass still in his feet
A Bm
And a smile beneath his brow
[CHOURS - End]
Bm G D A Bm
This is for long-forgotten
G D Em Bm
Light at the end of the world
G D A Bm
Horizon crying
G D Em
The tears he left behind so long ago
