Version 1

            [Intro]
F C Em F
F C Em F

[Verse 1]
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

[Instrumental]
F C Em F
F C Em F

[Verse 2]
F          C          Em       F
Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
F               C            Em        F
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights

     G              C          F       C
Your family may not wait, sir, keep on breathing
    G               C         F       C
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling

G                        C        F            C
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
G            C        F       C
Left for the lights always in season

[Outro]
