To The Sea

Intro: Cm

Cm

The wind is a'whipping through the open doors

Speaking of the sea and the rolling' waves

Eb

Maybe there's a ship at the bottom now

or struggling on the surface with a cry for help

Fm

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Cm

Twenty years ago it was a howling storm

as the voice of a god from a great beyond

Eb

I was standing on the shore as the sky grew dark

with a hand on a bible and a hand on my heart

Fm

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Eb Hb Fm Cm

Because all I have left is the voice of the wind

Ab Hb Cm

Blowing through the doors of our house

The sun was drying up the rain in our sky

Shining gold in our sails and

our hearts standing by

Remember what they're singing

on their way to the sea:

"Goodbye fare thee well, goodbye for me"

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you

Empty were the coffins and

the house where we lived

as the grave that I dug

by our place on the beach

How I wish the water could

be poured out of the sea

so I can go and get you back ashore with me

Wish I could forget and let the years go by

Wish I could escape from my dreams of you
