VERSES:
A E
On a distant shore, miles from land
G D
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
A E
A dream in a mist of grey
B A
On a far distant shore
A E
The pebble, it stood alone
G D
And driftwood lies half buried
A E
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
B A
So the cockles shine
A E
A bare, winding carcas stalk
G D
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat
A
An empty way,
B A
Dry Tears
A E
Crisp flax squeaks Tall reeds
G D
Make a circle of grey
A
In a summer way, around man
B A
so don't drown
