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

Will call our ships to port
A#
The countless lonely voices
C
Like whispers in the dark
[Instrumental]

D second of reflection can take you to the moon
D
The slightest hesitation can bring you down in flames

D moment in a lifetime is all it takes to break him
D
D fraction of a heartbeat made us what we are
D
D brother and a sister for better or for worse

Will call them back again
