The Blanket Of The Nights

Paper cup of the boat

Heaving chest of the sea

Carry both of us
F               C
Carry her, carry me

From the place we were born
C                               F
To the land of the free
Ab
Carry both of us

Or take us for it's own

The danger

That life should lead us here

My      an    gel

Could I have steered us clear?

C                                Ab
Gone, the light from her eyes
C
With the lives that we made
Ab
Just the two of us
F        Eb           C
In the night on the waves

C                       Ab
Moving silent her lips
C
By the moon's only light
Ab
Sowing silver prayers
F            Eb       C
In the blanket of night
