Intro
C Em D Dsus4 C (2x)
C Em D C
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
C Em D C
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
D G C G
And I could not stay for I believed them
D G C G
Left for the lights always in season
C Em D Dsus4 C (2x)
C Em D C
Impossible night in a crowd of homesick
C Em D C
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
D G C G
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on breathing
D G C G
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling
D G C G
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
D G C G
Left for the lights always in season
