Broke off from my work the other day

I spent the evening thinking about

All the blood that flowed away

Across the ocean to the second chance

I've looked at the ocean, tried hard to imagine

The way you felt the day you sailed

From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia

 F
We should have held you, we should have told you

 Am
But you know our sense of timing

We always wait too long

I wonder my blood, will you ever return

 Am
To help us kick the life back

 Am7            Am
To a dying mutual friend

 F
Do we not love her? Do we not say we love her?

 Am
Do we have to roam the world

   Em                 F    F/A    F/D       G
To prove how much it hurts?
