                C        Em      F
Like an ancient day and I'm on trial

                   C         Em          F
Let them seize the way, this once was an island
    G           C        F     C
And I could not stay for I believed them
G            C        F       C        
Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick
                C            Em         F
Fully grown children, you'll leave the lights
      G             C           F      C
Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing
     G              C         F        C
Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling

G                        C        F            C
Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
G            C        F       C  G   
Left for the lights always in season
