(D)                        (G)           (D)

I saw the shoals at night, with the moon above.

(A7sus4)

I felt an obligation, and heard your voice again.

(D)                             (G)

If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

(D)                          (A7sus4)

If I reached out tonight, I found I couldn't fight it.

B                A                             B

If you were here once, you were here a hundred times.

A

Ohhhhhh

D                         G                  D

Best as a wishing star, I saw you better far away,

A7sus4

and I felt obligation, and heard your voice again.

D                       G                D

Hear the rush of water, passing over the shoals.

A7sus4

Hear my heartbeat rather, if I reached out tonight.

B              A                        B

If I reach out tonight and find I can't fight it,

A

and look to the stars, and wander towards a

D                       G                     D

heartfelt obligation, a place that you called home

A7sus4

and heard your voice again, but it's too late.

D                                 G

You left long ago, and now you're probably dead and gone,

D                      A7sus4                     B           A

and I'm left here with the water and the shoals and a tainted obligation.

B       A

Ohhhhhh
