Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G An old man by a seashore At the end of day
A4 G A Bm Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same
A4 G A Bm Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A4 G A Bm He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
Continues after the ad
A4 G A Bm The ones on their travels homeward from afar [Chorus]
G D A Bm G D Em Bm This is for long-for-got-ten light at the end of the wor--ld
G D A Bm G D Em Ho-ri-zon cry-ing the tears he left behind long ago
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G The albatross is flying Making him daydream
A4 G A Bm The time before he became One of the world's unseen
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G Princess in the tower, Children in the fields
A4 G A Bm Life gave him it all: An island of the universe
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog
A4 G A Bm He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world
Bm B2 Gm Bb6/G Anchor to the water Seabed far below
A4 G A Bm Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow [Chorus]
G D A Bm G D Em Bm This is for long-for-got-ten light at the end of the wor--ld
G D A Bm G D Em Ho-ri-zon cry-ing the tears he left behind long ago
