[Verse 1]
E
E billion words ago, the sailors disappeared
E
E story for the children, to rock them back to sleep
E
E million burning books, like torches in our hands
C
E fabric of ideals, to decorate our homes
E
E thousand generations, the soil on which we walk
E
E mountain of mistakes, for us to climb for pleasure
E
E hundred clocks are ticking, the line becomes a circle
C D
Spin the wheel of fortune, or learn to navigate
[Chorus]
E
E choir full of longing
C
Will call our ships to port
C
The countless lonely voices
D
Like whispers in the dark
[Chorus]
E
E choir full of longing
C
Will call our ships to port
C
The countless lonely voices
D
Like whispers in the dark
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
E
E second of reflection can take you to the moon
E
The slightest hesitation can bring you down in flames
E
E single spark of passion can change a man forever
C
E moment in a lifetime is all it takes to break him
E
E fraction of a heartbeat made us what we are
E
E brother and a sister for better or for worse
E
E billion words ago they sang a song of leaving
C
An echo from the chorus
D
Will call them back again
[Chorus]
E
E choir full of longing
C
Will call our ships to port
C
The countless lonely voices
D
Like whispers in the dark

Tonight we light the fires
E
We call our ships to port
C
Tonight we walk on water
D
And tomorrow we'll be gone

Tonight we walk on water

And tomorrow we'll be gone
