The Tide Falls Away Dar Williams
INTRO: Am Am7 Am F
[Am]I walked a spiralling [Am7]village one [F]night
[Em]Drawn by the word of a [G]bell or a [F]light
[G]Out on the flats, saw it [E7]rose to a [Am]spire[Am7]
All becomes [Am]clear [F]as the [C]tide falls a[Am]way
[Am]Parent and child and an [Am7]ocean be[F]tween
[Em]One is not heard and the [G]other not [F]seen
[G]Too many bottles, but [E7]each had a message in[Am]side[Am7]
All becomes [Am]clear [F]as the [C]tide falls a[Am]way[Am7]
All becomes [Am]clear [F]as the [C]tide falls a[Am]way
INTERLUDE: Am Am7 F Em G F
[G]Lucky we are when the [E7]stars leave us singing
A [Am]hymn or a dirge when the [F]surge of the ocean is [C]gone
Is[F] gone
INTERLUDE: Am Am7 Am F
[Am]And the old woman just [Am7]stares at her [F]hands
[Em]So many heroes have [G]crumbled to [F]sand
[G]All those cathedrals were [E7]merely by [Am]men[Am7]
All becomes [Am]clear [F]as the [C]tide falls a[Am]way
All becomes clear [F]as the [C]tide falls a[Am]way[Am7]
All falls a[F]way
