C#m A
I followed the sights; I followed the stars
C#m A E
I followed anything to get where you are
A C#m
But you were asleep; far out at sea

You couldn’t hear, oh you couldn’t see me
E C#m7
And waves crashed around; swallowed you whole
A C#m E
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out your soul
[Refrão]

You said ’I love her, You said we’d last

So I’ll walk on water, hold steady, hold fast

Grasping my feet as I came near

I held out my arms to gather you up

I fought off the demons, shed tears and shed blood
E C#m7
And waves crashed around; swallowed me whole
A C#m E
Swallowed the moon and it drowned out my soul

I said ’I love him, I said we’d last

Taking account of what damage was done

To our surprise we did not meet death

Love stood up strong, oh love haloed our head

Wrapped in His arms oh my lover and me

Raging or calm; little we care
A E/G# A E
’Cause love is a force that will carry us home

And waves danced around; we learn to let go

To sing to the moon and awaken the soul
