Then it came to me in a flash of light
D#m
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
D#m
In the bottom of the barrel, on the longest day

In the hardest winter, in the falling rain

Held my head up and it struck me down

Struck me down to the ground

When it ain't up, wonder where it go
D#m
Hold the sea as somewhere to row

Over did then dead heroes

Make it easy and sunny and go

We hold the sea and know the unknown

Old Man Dan, 'cause some of them are low
D#m
Wondering 'bout where do we go
D#m
Until then, we boat
