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