Verse 1
A
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
B
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
A
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
B
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
A
Looking every where 'cause I had to find you
B
This is not the way that I remember it here
A
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
B
Hidden in the summer for a million years

A
So you look into the land
and it will tell you you a story
B
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
A
Listen to the motion of the wind
in the mountains
B
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
A
They're gonna be tray you,
they're gonna for get you
B
Are you gonna let them take you over
that way
