_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C#m]
When the night shows, [B] the signals grow on radios
[C#m]
All the strange things, they come and go
[F#] There's early [B] warnings, stranded [G#m] starfish have [B] no place to hide
[A] Still waiting for the swollen Easter [C#m] tide
_ _ [B] There's no point in direction, [A#] we cannot [B] even choose a side
_ [E] _
_ [C#m] I took the old track, [A] the hollow shoulder across the waters
[C#m] _ On the tall cliffs, [A] they were getting older
Sons and [B] daughters, the jaded [G#m] underworld [A] was riding high
On waves of steel [B] hurled metal at [C#m] the sky
[B] And as the nails sunk in the cloud, [A#] the rain was [E] warm and soaked in the crowd _
_ Oh, here [C#m] comes the flood, _ [B] we'll say goodbye [G#] to [C#m] flesh and blood _
[G#] If again, the sea is silent [C#m] in any still alive _
[A#] It'll be those who [F#] gave their [A] island to survive _
[B] Drink up, dreamers, [E] you're running dry _
_ [C#m] _ When the flood calls, [A] you have no home, you have no walls
[C#m] _ In the thunder crash, [A] you're a thousand miles within a flash
[B] Don't be afraid [G#m] to [A] cry of what you see
The actors [B] gone, there's only you [C#m] and me
[B] And if we break before the dawn, [A#] we'll use up [E] what we used to be _
_ Oh, here [C#m] comes the flood, _ [B] we'll say goodbye [G#] to [C#m] flesh and blood _ _
[Cm] If again, the sea is [C#m] silent in any still alive
It'll [A#] be those who [F#] gave their [A] island to survive _
Drink [B] up, [D] dreamers, [E] you're running dry
It'll be those who gave their island to survive _
