'We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea' by Declan O'Rourke Tabbed by *Alan4* Intro: D Bm D Bm Verse 1: D Bm Along the quayside you were a light D Bm And I, a reflection, lay across the river and the night D Bm You were transfixed on me and I was mesmerised G And names were whispered to and by you and I Verse 2: D Bm The tides began to steal away from morning light D Bm As night receded river walls seemed to grow high D Bm Then you climbed down into my arms and closed your eyes G When we awoke we had been drifting Chorus: D We didn't mean to go to sea Bm/A We didn't mean to drift away Bm We never planned to up and leave G But still the sea took us away D We saw no lands on the horizon Bm/A No distant shores along the fray Bm Yet all the more we found ourselves G When we got lost at sea that day Verse 3: D Bm Timbers creaked, all else was quiet and relieved D Bm Except the infant waves that licked and lapped along the eaves D Bm It had to dawn on us, our truth had been believed G Beyond all lies and jealousy Verse 4: D We sailed high wind half-mast Bm D Due north, towards the edge of our dreams grateful borders Bm That matched our speed to stay ahead D The afternoon was bleeding to death Bm And soon the sky was racing red G To see the stars remove their hats out of respect (Chorus Repeat) Chords: D:000232 Bm:224432 Bm/A:004432 G:320033 alnug@eircom.net
