   Bm           B5(9)    Gm             Bb6/G
An old man by a seashore At the end of day
A4           G          A               Bm
Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face
Bm           B5(9)     Gm              Bb6/G
Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same
A4            G             A             Bm
Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name
Bm             B5(9)         Gm             Bb6/G
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A4               G       A                   Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm           B5(9)        Gm            Bb6/G
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A4                 G       A              Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

             G    D   A  Bm   G            D           Em  Bm
This is for long-for-got-ten  light at the end of the wor--ld
    G  D    A Bm        G               D          Em
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing  the tears he left behind long ago

    Bm             B5(9)    Gm          Bb6/G
The albatross is flying Making him daydream
     A4         G          A                    Bm
The time before he became One of the world's unseen
Bm               B5(9)   Gm             Bb6/G
Princess in the tower, Children in the fields
A4               G          A             Bm
Life gave him it all: An island of the universe
Bm                B5(9)     Gm          Bb6/G
Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog
    A4                 G                A               Bm
He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world
Bm             B5(9) Gm           Bb6/G
Anchor to the water Seabed far below
A4              G               A                 Bm
Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow

    G  D    A Bm        G               D          Em
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing  the tears he left behind long ago
