Waiting By The Sea

INTRO:

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

VERSE:

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

On a bright spring day near the approach of May

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

My spirit leaped with the season and drew me away

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

From the comforts and pleasures and agonies

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

That were familiar to me

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

A brief repose or a final close

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

To the years spent in emptiness, who knows?

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

It was not the time for clarity

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

It was a season of resurrection

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

Restless I wandered like a once caged bird

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Who found the sky and finally heard

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

His song without the echoes of a cage

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

And found it quite absurd

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

So seeking the solace of a greater sea

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

I walked the coast to know my condition

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

But it was not the time for clarity

CXXXXXX

It was a season of resurrection

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

Waiting there by the sea

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

for history to pass me by.

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

Waiting there by the sea

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

for memory just to let me be

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

Waiting there by the sea

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Waiting ever patiently

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

Waiting there by the sea

CXXXXXX

For you.

VERSE:

DmG7

What a thing, what a thing, spring in full ing

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Despite the agony of the hour I was compelled to sing

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

A hymn to human victory

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

But I could not cease to cling

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

To the idle aims and futile games

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Of a dying city whose rising ames

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

Promised to light a brighter way

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Than the fury of a summer's day

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

But every lamp was a lie, the city cold and dry

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Crowds of climbing towers rose to shut out the sky

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

And every wall raised to keep back the sea

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

Kept all from being free

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

So I fled the streets to meet the tide

CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

And I walk the coast to know my condition

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX

But it was not the time for clarity

CXXXXXX

It was a season of resurrection

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

DmXXXXXX G7XXXXXX CXXXXXX AmXXXXXX

CHORUS:
