Sailor lost on your own misty seas.

Reaching and stretching.
  E     Am      C
To the corner of your mind, ohhh,. (Wailing guitar, over)
    D      Am
Like a river casts aside the dust.
  C     D      Am
And grows and grows, as it flows,
  C      D       Am
The feeling deep inside of you must,
C   G   D
Break like a dam.
