Like an ancient day and I'm on trial

Let them seize the way, this once was an island

And I could not stay for I believed them
G C F C
Left for the lights always in season
(F C Em F C Em F)
C Em F
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
C Em F
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights

Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing

Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling
G C F C
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason

Left for the lights always in season
