An old man by a seashore

At the end of day

Gazes the horizon

With seawinds in his face

Tempest-tossed island

Seasons all the same

Anchorage unpainted
A                    Bm
And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard

He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world

Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
    A             D5       A               Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

The tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying

Making him daydream

The time before he became

One of the world's unseen
Bm              B5
Princess in the tower
G
Children in the fields

Life gave him it all:

An island of the universe


Bm               B5
Now his love's a memory
  G
A ghost in the fog
   A                  D5
He sets the sails one last time

Saying farewell to the world
Bm            B5
Anchor to the water
G
Seabed far below

Grass still in his feet

And a smile beneath his brow
