[Verse 1]
A#
A# billion words ago, the sailors disappeared
A#
A# story for the children, to rock them back to sleep
A#
A# million burning books, like torches in our hands
F#
A# fabric of ideals, to decorate our homes
A#
A# thousand generations, the soil on which we walk
A#
A# mountain of mistakes, for us to climb for pleasure
A#
A# hundred clocks are ticking, the line becomes a circle
F# G#
Spin the wheel of fortune, or learn to navigate
[Chorus]
A#
A# choir full of longing
F#
Will call our ships to port
F#
The countless lonely voices
G#
Like whispers in the dark
[Chorus]
A#
A# choir full of longing
F#
Will call our ships to port
F#
The countless lonely voices
G#
Like whispers in the dark
[Instrumental]
A# F# G# A# F# G# A#
[Verse 2]
A#
A# second of reflection can take you to the moon
A#
The slightest hesitation can bring you down in flames
A#
A# single spark of passion can change a man forever
F#
A# moment in a lifetime is all it takes to break him
A#
A# fraction of a heartbeat made us what we are
A#
A# brother and a sister for better or for worse
A#
A# billion words ago they sang a song of leaving
F#
An echo from the chorus
G#
Will call them back again
[Chorus]
A#
A# choir full of longing
F#
Will call our ships to port
F#
The countless lonely voices
G#
Like whispers in the dark
[Chorus]
A#
A# choir full of longing
F#
Will call our ships to port
F# G#
The countless lonely voices
C#
Like whispers in the dark
[Instrumental 2]
A# F# G# A# F# G#
[Chorus 2]
A#
Tonight we light the fires
A#
We call our ships to port
F#
Tonight we walk on water
G#
And tomorrow we'll be gone
[Chorus 2]
A#
Tonight we light the fires
A#
We call our ships to port
F#
Tonight we walk on water
G#
And tomorrow we'll be gone
[End]
A#
Tonight
F# G#
Tonight
