Verse 1:

	D	Bm
	Along the quayside	you were a light

	D	Bm
	And I, a reflection, lay ac	ross the river and the night

	D	Bm
	You were transfixed on me a	nd I was mesmerised

	G
	And names were whispered to and by you and I

Verse 2:

	D	Bm
	The tides began to steal a	way from morning light

	D	Bm
	As night receded river wal	ls seemed to grow high

	D	Bm
	Then you climbed down into	my arms and closed your eyes

	G
	When we awoke we had been drifting

Chorus:

	D
	We didn't mean to go to sea

	Bm/A
	We didn't mean to drift away

	Bm
	We never planned to up and leave

	G
	But still the sea took us away

	D
	We saw no lands on the horizon

	Bm/A
	No distant shores along the fray

	Bm
	Yet all the more we found ourselves

	G
	When we got lost at sea that day

Verse 3:

	D	Bm
	Timbers creaked, all else	was quiet and relieved

	D	Bm
	Except the infant waves th	at licked and lapped along the eaves

	D	Bm
	It had to dawn on us, our	truth had been believed

	G
	Beyond all lies and jealousy

Verse 4:

	D
	We sailed high wind half-mast

	Bm	D
	Due north, towards the edge of our dr	eams grateful borders

	Bm
	That matched our speed to stay ahead

	D
	The afternoon was bleeding to death

	Bm
	And soon the sky was racing red

	G
	To see the stars remove their hats out of respect

(Chorus Repeat)
