Intro
Em G D C (2x)
[Verse 1]
Em G
With a tiny rope and a bag of stones and all her broken wishingbones
D C
She's going in, she's going home
Em G
Oh this little golden eye
D C
Fighting every day behind the light, behind the light
Em G
Walking faster down the street red eyes and no shoes on her feet
D C
Going on this journey, determined to complete.
Em
This is farewell, this is goodnight
G D
The last time she will see the daylight
C
See the daylight
[Chorus 1]
C G
And she's going on a journey
Em D
Always walking down the road
C G
And the water is always calling
Em D
My little child, please come home
[Post-Chorus]
Em D G
That's when she went away
D C
Away from the light of day
[Verse 2]
Em G
Standing by the riverside
D
Patientelly waiting for the tide to come along
C
To come along
Em G D
The water going through her feet and on her body wind so cold and sweet
C
So cold and sweet
[Chorus 1]
C G
And she's going on a journey
Em D
Always walking down the road
C G
And the water is always calling
Em D
My little child, please come home
[Chorus 2]
C G
And the stars were brightly shining
Em D
When she reached out they were gone
C G
And the water started calling
Em D
My little child, please come home
[Bridge]
Em D C
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out x8
[Chorus 1]
C G
And she's going on a journey (water's never going out)
Em D
Always walking down the road (water's never going out)
C G
And the water is always calling (water's never going out)
Em D
My little child, please come home (water's never going out)
[Chorus 2]
C G
And the stars were brightly shining (water's never going out)
Em D
When she reached out they were gone (water's never going out)
C G
And the water started calling (water's never going out)
Em D
My little child, please come home (water's never going out)
[Outro]
Em G
When a shiny light hit her eye
D
And she turned around and climbed towards the sky
C
Towards the sky
