'We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea' by Declan O'Rourke Tabbed by *Alan4* Intro: D Bm D Bm Verse 1:
DAlong the quayside Bmyou were a light DAnd I, a reflection, lay acBmross the river and the night DYou were transfixed on me aBmnd I was mesmerised GAnd names were whispered to and by you and I
Verse 2:
DThe tides began to steal aBmway from morning light DAs night receded river walBmls seemed to grow high DThen you climbed down intoBm my arms and closed your eyes GWhen we awoke we had been drifting
Chorus:
DWe didn't mean to go to sea Bm/AWe didn't mean to drift away BmWe never planned to up and leave GBut still the sea took us away DWe saw no lands on the horizon Bm/ANo distant shores along the fray BmYet all the more we found ourselves GWhen we got lost at sea that day
Verse 3:
DTimbers creaked, all else Bmwas quiet and relieved DExcept the infant waves thBmat licked and lapped along the eaves DIt had to dawn on us, our Bmtruth had been believed GBeyond all lies and jealousy
Verse 4:
DWe sailed high wind half-mast BmDue north, towards the edge of our drDeams grateful borders BmThat matched our speed to stay ahead DThe afternoon was bleeding to death BmAnd soon the sky was racing red GTo see the stars remove their hats out of respect
(Chorus Repeat) Chords: D:000232 Bm:224432 Bm/A:004432 G:320033 alnug@eircom.net
