Sally Forth

   C                         F
Gentle was the tide breaking in 
           C
foreign sky;
            Am               F    
beside the moon there were echoes 
         G
of this home
  C                              
Broken were the streets, concrete 
   F                C
river beneath his feet
                Am           F    
cracked and cratered and 
        G
whispering all alone.
   C                               
Bleeding through the blinds was the
     F                C
 moonlight and the lights,
          Am         F        G
crossing over and finding a young 
man’s eyes.
 C                           F    
Lost was the might of that young 
             C
man on that night,
         Am           Dm        
looking for where the sea met the 
   E
sky


[Chorus]
      F     C
Oh, sally forth
    F        C        F        Am
my love, I adore you more and more.
         F                   E
As each day the rocks are around 
him, on the shore.
    F      C           F         
I wait beside the lighthouse 
    C
every night
       Am
in my home
      F       G           C
I am here, waiting for a turn.

[Verse]
   C                        F     
Shallow was the one in the crack 
       C
on the tile
          Am                 F    
as she dropped a bottle, 
          G
frightened by the cry of the wind.
 C                               
“He will come in time,” she would 
  F              C
say, once in a while
         Am                    F  
and she hoped that the screen door
        G
 would sing again.
 C                           F 
Soft was the light, hanging down 
               C
beside the night
           Am                 F   
and the kitchen streaks of plaster
       G
 lay still cracked
 C                          F     
Lost was the might of the women on
        C
 that night,
          Am                  Dm  
for the earth had taken that blue 
            E
sea and turned it to black


[Chorus]
      F     C
Oh, sally forth
    F        C         F       Am
my love, I adore you more and more.
         F                   E
As each day the rocks are around 
him, on the shore.
    F      C           F         
I wait beside the lighthouse 
    C
every night
       Am
in my home
      F       G           C
I am here, waiting for a turn.
