The Penalty

Intro: F  C Em F C Em F

F                C      Em     F
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
F                   C         Em          F
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
    G           C        F     C
And I could not stay for I believed them
G            C        F       C
Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick

Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
     G              C          F          C
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing
    G                C         F       C
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling

Let them think what they may, for they've good reason

Left for the lights always in season
