[F] We walked to [Bb] the sea, just [C] my father and [A]
me, and [Dm] the dogs played [F]
around on [Bb] the sand.
[C] Winter [F] cold, cut [Bb] the air, hanging [C] still [A] everywhere, dressed [Dm] in grey.
[D] Did [F] he say, hold [Bb] my hand?
[C] [F] I said, love's [A] easier when [Bb] it's far away.

[C] [F] He said, it's harder [A] now, you're [Bb] far away,
[Am] [Gm] we only read [Bb] you when [C] you write.
We're [Ab] like ships that [Cm] pass in the [Db] night, [Eb] and we [Ab] smile and we [Cm] say it's [Db] alright,
[Eb] but we're [Ab] still here, it's just [Cm] that we're out [Db] of sight, [C] like [Fm] those ships [Eb] that pass [Db] in the night.
