Verse
A C#m11
Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves
A C#m11
Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away
Bm7 Dm6
Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones
A G A
The sirens on the shore calling them home
A C#m11
Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway
A C#m11
Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7 Dm6
Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole
A G A
While the needle and the thread stitches them whole
[Chorus]
F#m F
Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves
A Amaj7 F#
Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay
Bm7 Dm6
No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey
A G A
No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away
[Instrumental with whistling]

While the needle and the thread stitches us whole again

Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves

Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay

Raise your mast and fly away into a sky of blue and grey
A G A
No one to save us, sailing our sinking ships up and away
A G A
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
A G A
Sailing our sinking ships up and away
