All the years of waiting for the boys to come back home,
DmDm        G+G          C majorC          FF
Hear the stories they could tell, and see how much they've grown,
DmDm       G+G        C majorC           FF
In the night I think about the lives they could have led,
DmDm        G+G        C majorC         FF
Cut short at the finish line, no more the earth to tread.

One hundred feet from shore,

Such a storm has rocked her bow, she’s bound to run a-ground.
DmDm        G+G         C majorC      FF
Scramble down the towing lines, but many can’t escape,

Fighting for their lives again, so close to home they wait.

Many swam through freezing water, for all that they could stand,

Sodden boots and winter coats grew heavy with the damp.
DmDm        G+G        C majorC          FF
Struggled on for precious life until it slipped from reach,
   DmDm       G+G         C majorC        FF
Their souls arise to leave their bodies washed up on the beach.

Though I’d swear I heard them calling on the wind.
  FF         G+G
One hundred feet from shore,
    C majorC     FF
In the waters evermore,
  DmDm       G+G         C majorC
Forever there, one hundred feet from shore.

In the waters evermore,

All in the oceans roar,

One hundred feet from shore.
