Like an ancient day and I'm on trial
F                   C        G G* G        F
Let them seize the way, this once was an island


[Chorus 1]

    G           C        F           C
And I could not stay for I believed them
 G           C      F         C
Left for the lights always in season

Impassable night in a crowd of homesick

Our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling

Let them think what they may, for they've good reason

Let them think what they may, for they've good reason
  G           C       F          C
Left for the lights always in season
