   Bm           Bsus2      Bsus4        Bm
An old man by a seashore At the end of day
A         G             A               Bm
Gazes the horizon With seawinds in his face
Bm             Bsus2     Bsus4        Bm
Tempest-tossed island Seasons all the same
A             G            A              Bm
Anchorage unpainted And a ship without a name
Bm              Bsus2       Bsus4          Bm
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
A              G       A                      Bm
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Bm              Bsus2       Bsus4
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
A                 G       A              Bm
The ones on their travels homeward from afar

(refrão)
Bm           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

(intro)

Bm               Bsus2  Bsus4         Bm
The albatross is flying Making him daydream
A               G             A               Bm
The time before he became One of the world's unseen
Bm              Bsus2  Bsus4           Bm
Princess in the tower, Children in the fields
A                G       A                Bm
Life gave him it all: An island of the universe

Bm               Bsus2    Bsus4        Bm
Now his love's a memory A ghost in the fog
A                     G                A               Bm
He sets the sails one last time Saying farewell to the world
Bm            Bsus2 Bsus4      Bm
Anchor to the water Seabed far below
A              G              A                 Bm
Grass still in his feet And a smile beneath his brow
