[Am]An old man by a [Asus2]seashore

[Am]Sea without a [Asus2]shore for the b[F]anished one unheard
He li[G]ghtens the [C]beacon, light [G]at the end of [Am]world

[F]Hori[C]zon [G]cry[Am]ing
The [F]tears he left b[C]ehind long [Dm]ago
-Intro-
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
-Chorus-
[(Dm)]So long [Am]ago....
-Intro(outro)-
