     F
On a bench, on the beach
       Eb               Bb/D
Just before the sun had gone
           F
I tried to reach you
Cm             D
Plain faced and falling fast
Gm                        Bb
You looked so vacant like an empty shell

Whose life had passed upon the ocean  Mmmmm
 
Bb/C F/C  F     Bb/F  F     F
Be-  fore light shook the sky
     Eb           Eb Bb/D
Down by the docks I saw
           F
The masts unfolding
Cm         D                Gm
Don't turn away, please understand
                Bb
It's a life and a living
G/B   F/C             
And a way to keep the wolves away
     C               
From hungry hands, from hungry hands
 
      Dm 
Crazy water

Takes my fishing boat on Mon-day morning

Dangerous dreaming
      F                           F/G   F/A      Bb
If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing
         F/A          Bb              Gm7    Gm7/A  Bb
Oh we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy   water

Shoreline widows pray

For the souls of missing whalers

Endless nights on an endless sea

Where nothing lives between us

Just the breakers on the ocean

Separating you and me
          C
Separating you and me
