Through the velvet storms and the rains that fell,
Here comes the man with his tail [A#] to tea,
[D#]
And some have named him [E] Peter the Angel [A#] [D#m] Gabriel.
When [C#]
[B]
[A]
[C#m] [C#] [A]
[C#m]
the night [B] shows, [A] the signals grow on radios,
[C#m]
All the [B] strange things, [A] they come and go as early [B] warnings,
Stranded [G#m] starfish have [A] no place to hide, Still [F#] waiting for [B] the swing [C] of [C#m] hasty tide.
[C#] There's no point in direction, [A#] we cannot [A] even choose [E] a side.
[F#]
[B] [C#] I took the old [G#m] track, [A] the hollow shoulders across the [B] water,
[C#m] On the tall [B] cliffs, [A] they were getting older, Sons and [B] daughters, they jaded [G#m] underworld,
The flood [A] was riding high, waves [F#] of steel [B] hudged [C] at [C#m] the sky,
And as the nails sunk in the cloud, the [F#m] rain was [A] warm and soaked the [E] crowd.
Lord, [B] here comes the [C#m]
flood, [B] we'll say goodbye, [G#] the [C#m] flesh of blood,
[G#] If again, the seas are silent [C#m] and any's still alive,
[Cm]
You'll be [G#] the ones who gave their island [A]
to survive.
Drink
[Am] up, [D] [Am] dreamers, [D]
[E] you're running dry,
[C#m] When the flood [B]
calls, [A] you have no home,
You have no [B] walls, [C#m] in the thunder [B] crash, [A] You're a thousand miles within a [B] flash,
Don't be afraid [G#m] to cry at [A] what you see, The act [F#] is gone, [B] there's [C] only you [C#m] and me,
And if [C#] we break before [C#m] the dawn, they'll use [F#m] up what [A] we used [E] to be.
[B] Here comes [C#m] the flood, [B] we'll say goodbye, [G#] the [C#m] flesh of blood,
[G#] If again, the seas are [C#m] silent and any's still alive,
[G#] You'll be the ones who gave their island [A] to survive.
