Joseph

Am

[Verse]
Am
Joseph, he left in the first light 
of morning
    G
The boatman was waiting, the tide 
was turning
       F
And he stood for a moment as if to 
say
       G                   Am
I will see you in passing

[Verse]
The wind took the sails and he 
Em
floated away
     G
Like so much driftwood washed out of
 the bay
       F
And he sailed to the island where 
the sand meets the sky
       G                  Am
And he breathed again

[Verse]
Am
There was something about the sand 
and the sea
       G
How it all comes together, how it's 
all meant to be

    F
For water is life and sand measures 
time
        G
For the healing

[Verse]
     Am                            
They say he found Jesus, but that's
 Em
 really not true
     G
It's just an excuse for the blind 
and confused
       F
For he searched for beauty and 
freedom from pain
       G
And he made himself well

[Chorus]
Am                    C
Joseph, we waited for you
   G                          
We waited and hoped you'd come 
 Dm
through
   C                          G
We looked to the mail boat to bring 
us a word
        C            G/B         
But the sound of the seagull was all
Am
 that we heard

[Verse]
Am
Now he walks like a dancer and 
measures his space
   G
So strong in his movement and easy 
with grace
       F
And he carries his body like one who
 has seen
    G
The hope of an answer

[Verse]
Am                                
Way in the distance the island is 
Em
there
   G
It shifts in the sunlight and floats
 in the air
  F
A haven for dreamers and lovers who 
lost
    G
And people like Joseph

[Chorus]
Am                    C
Joseph, we waited for you
   G                          
We waited and hoped you'd come 
 Dm
through
   C                          G
We looked to the mail boat to bring 
us a word
        C            G/B         
But the sound of the seagull was all
Am
 that we heard
