[Verse]
N.C.
I want clear water from here to the horizon
N.C.
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
N.C.
Fair weather as we head for the skyline
N.C.
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
[Verse]
F C G Am I want clear water as we sail out to the head F Em Dm G All I want to hear is the ripple from the bow F C G Am Let us be at ease now and know our true position F C G C Like a compass to the star, like a team hooked to the plough
[Verse]
F Em And as for all the history, it's best it's left unwritten Dm C Dm G Few would believe if we told all we have seen F C G Am Comedy and tragedy have come along unbidden F C G C They are the port and starboard that we sail in between
[Verse]
F C G Am I want clear water for each new destination F Em Dm G And if the storm should break we will take it in our stride F C G Am We rode out the tempest when the clouded stars were hidden F C G C And the rising of the moon proved to be a fickle guide
[Verse]
F Em And if we hear the timbers creak, we'll be give and take Dm C Dm G Voices from outside, we know our craft is strong F C G Am As long as we can speak without raising our voices F C G C The music of the storm is in the guarding of the song
[Bridge]
G At night upon the deck I want to feel the salty spray F G Like warm tears on my face for the passing of the day F Em I watch the wheeling star 'til the light breaks in the east Dm G May the journey never end, let us be at peace
[Instrumental]
F C G Am F Em Dm G
F C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
F C G Am I want clear water from here to the horizon F Em Dm G Maybe scarred and feathered, but who'd say we were wrong F C G Am The journey not the goal was the only thing that mattered F C G C While the wounds you thought had healed can still be opened by a song
[Verse]
F C G Am I want clear water from here to the horizon F Em Dm G I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead F C G Am Fair weather as we head for the skyline F C G C Clear sky in the morning and every sunset red F C G C A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
