'We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea' by Declan O'Rourke Tabbed by *Alan4* Intro: C Am C Am Verse 1:
CAlong the quayside Amyou were a light CAnd I, a reflection, lay acAmross the river and the night CYou were transfixed on me aAmnd I was mesmerised FAnd names were whispered to and by you and I
Verse 2:
CThe tides began to steal aAmway from morning light CAs night receded river walAmls seemed to grow high CThen you climbed down intoAm my arms and closed your eyes FWhen we awoke we had been drifting
Chorus:
CWe didn't mean to go to sea Am/GWe didn't mean to drift away AmWe never planned to up and leave FBut still the sea took us away CWe saw no lands on the horizon Am/GNo distant shores along the fray AmYet all the more we found ourselves FWhen we got lost at sea that day
Verse 3:
CTimbers creaked, all else Amwas quiet and relieved CExcept the infant waves thAmat licked and lapped along the eaves CIt had to dawn on us, our Amtruth had been believed FBeyond all lies and jealousy
Verse 4:
CWe sailed high wind half-mast AmDue north, towards the edge of our drCeams grateful borders AmThat matched our speed to stay ahead CThe afternoon was bleeding to death AmAnd soon the sky was racing red FTo see the stars remove their hats out of respect
