• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: Cbm

Intro:

      A#m                             C#
Let's pause here for a minute, we're biding our time
        F#maj7                             A#m
If I've been here for an instant, I'll be here for a while
    A#m                   C#             G#
The wind blows sharp and wintry as the clouds pass the moon
        A#m                        D#m
If I've brushed the edge of your story, friend
       C#           A#m
You've gilded mine too

Verse 1:
     A#m                      C#
I'll sing you a story of two ships in the night
     A#m                       C#
They passed by each other without knowing why
    A#m                                 C#            G#
The wind blew them there, they sailed, so the story goes
  C#           A#m             C#
I choose to believe it's the Lord who blows


Verse 2:
     A#m                         C#
They both wore their sails, all dim and lonesome blue
    A#m                        C#
Oh, I wouldn't lie, love each word I say is true
     A#m                     C#          G#
They both carried with them buckets of tears
    C#                A#m        C#
And shared with each other the pain of their years


Verse 3:
       A#m                     C#
So the one to the other, this mist is so deep
  A#m                         C#
I pass in and out of love, I talk in my sleep
  A#m                              C#        G#
I don't know where I'm going, oh, I cannot tell
    C#         A#m               C#
But come alongside me and I'll sail with you as well


Outro:
    A#m                            C#
And so they sailed onward through mist and through fog
   A#m                         C#              G#
In morning, in night time, in brightness and dark
     A#m                       C#             A#m
Till two more ships came alongside them and mended their sails
        C#             G#                                 A#m
And the four sailed together through storms and through gales
