Tainted Obligations

I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.
                          (A7sus4)
I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.
(D)                             (G)
If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.
(D)                          (A7sus4)
If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.

D                         G                  D
Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,
                           A7sus4
and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.

Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.
                             A7sus4
Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.

heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home
                     A7sus4
and heard your voice again, but it's too late.
D                                 G
You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,
    D                      A7sus4                     B           A
