G
C
F
C
I want clear water
G
C
from here to the horizon
C
Dm
G
for the journey's still ahead
F
C
G
Farewell as we head up
F
C
And a clear sky in the morning
G
C
and every sunset red
C
G
as we sail out to the edge
C
F
C
And all I want to hear
Dm
G
is the ripple from the dock
F
C
Let us be at ease now,
G
Am
I know our true position
F
C
Like a compass to the star,
G
C
like the teamwork to the plough
C
Dm

if we told all we had seen
G
F
C
Comedy and tragedy have
G
Am
come along unbidden
C
G
C
than we said in between
F
C
Just walk clear on,
G
C
from here to the horizon
F
C
We may be scarred and battered,
G
F
When the journey, not the goal,
C
G
was the only thing that mattered
Am
F
And the wounds you thought had healed,
C
G
C
could still be opened by a song
C
Dm
G
for we know our craft is strong
F
C
As long as we can speak,
Am
F
And the music of the storm
C
G
C
is in the calming of the song
And at night upon the deck,
G
C
for the passing of the day
Em
F
And watch the wheeling stars,
F
C
I want clear water
G
Am
from here to the horizon
F
C
I want some calm sea
Dm
G
F
for the journey's still ahead
C
G
Farewell as we head out
C
G
And then it's on to rain
