Cmaj7Cmaj7 What I lost was an ocean, Now I'm drifting through without you, G+G In this sad barcarolle. Cmaj7Cmaj7 What I lost was an ocean, And I'm rolling right behind you, G+G In this sad barcarolle. It rocks you like a cradle, It rocks you to the core, You'll sleep like a baby, As it knocks at death's door.
