[B] [Bm] [A]
[D]
[B] [F#] [F#m]
[D] Along the quayside, [B] you [Bm] were alive
[F#m]
[D] And I, a reflection lay [B] across the river [Bm] and the night
[D]
You were transfixed on me [B]
and I was [G] mesmerized
And names were whispered [B] to and [A] by [D]
you and I
[Bm] [A] The [D]
[B] [F#m]
[D] tides began to steal [B] away from morning light
[D] As night receded, [B] river waltz [Bm] seemed to grow [F#m] high
[D] Then you climbed down into my [B] arms and closed your [G] eyes
When we awoke, we had been drifting
We
[Em] [D] didn't mean to go to sea
We [G] didn't mean to drift away
We never [B] planned to upwind thee
But still the sea took us away
[D] We saw [D] no lands on the horizon
No [G] distant shores along the fray
[A] Yet all [B] the more we found [B]
ourselves
[G] When we got lost at sea that day
[D]
[B]
[Bm] [D]
[B]
[A]
[D] Timbers creaked, all else [B] was quite [Bm] [F#m] unrelieved
[D] Except the infant waves that licked and [B] lapped along the [D]
eaves
It had to dawn [Bm] on us our truth had been believed
[G] Beyond all lies and [A] jealousy
We [D] sailed highwind half-mast [Bm] to north towards the edge
[D] Of our dreams' grateful borders [B] that matched our [Bm] speed to stare ahead
[D] The afternoon was bleeding to death [Bm] and soon the sky was racing red
[G] To see the stars remove their hearts out of respect
[G]
[E] We [D] didn't mean to go to sea
We
[G] didn't mean to drift away
[D] We never [B] planned to upwind thee
But [G] still the sea took us away
