Verse
Bm Em G
An old man by a seashore at the end of day
Em D A Bm
Gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
Bm Em G
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
Em D A Bm
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
Bm G
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A G A Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm G
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A D A Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
[Refrão]
Bm G D A Bm G D Em Bm
This is for long for-got-ten light at the end of the world
G D A Bm G D Em
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing the tears he left behind long ago
Intro

The albatross is flying making him daydream
A G A Bm
The time before he become one of the world's unseen
Bm G
Princess in the tower, Children in the field
A G A Bm
Life gave him it all: an island of the universe
Bm G
Oh, now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog

He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world

Anchor to the water, Seabed far below
A G A Bm
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
