I'd sail on forever
G
For the sake of my daughters
G Cadd9
I'd weather any weather
D G Cadd9
And I'd sleep on that hori - zon
 
{Verse]
G
I'd bargain with the wind's blow
G D
Please more than a whisper
G
And I'd argue with the waters
G Cadd9
They're bitter 'cause we bicker
D G Cadd9
I feast on that hori - zon
 
[Verse]
G
If I was a tree stump
G
I'd hope to be a whole one
G Cadd9
From the sea to the highest leaf
D G Cadd9
So I could see o'er that hori - zon
