Verse 1
A5
Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
B5
Stranded like a runaway, lost at sea
A5
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
B5
Watching as the grey clouds shadow the bay
A5
Looking every where 'cause I had to find you
B5
This is not the way that I remember it here
A5
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
B5
Hidden in the summer for a million years

So you look into the land
and it will tell you you a story
B5
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
A5
Listen to the motion of the wind
in the mountains
B5
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
A5
They're gonna be tray you,
they're gonna for get you
B5
Are you gonna let them take you over
that way
