Silence and Distance

Em   D         A
Been here for so long
      Em  D         A
On the morrow I'll dare
G  F#m      Bm
Silent and distant
    G    F#m     B
Reaching out, unaware
G    F#m     E      Bm  A
Stealing the whispers
       G    F#m    Em
From my deepest request
D       A
And you watch me
        Em   D        A
Waiting for something new
G  F#m      Bm
My hands as empty
     G  F#m     B
As my body and soul
 G     F#m     E     Bm
Could keep pretending
    A      G     F#m     B5
But in the heart I'd be gone

( B5  B5  B5  G5  A5 )

B5                             
Still stare at my face, but lost 
                 G5  A5
seem your eyes
B5                                
Keep hold of the sails against the
          G5  A5
 blue sky

G5  F#5         B5
 Oh,  I'm intending
  G5  F#5         B5
A way back to the sea
     G5    F#5          E5
This emptiness burns inside and
B5    A5     G5      F#5
Leads on for endless miles

B5    A5     E5
Don't let me go (don't let me go)
B5    A5        E5
Away across the sea (don't let me 
go)
   F#5              D5
It may be much more wide
G5           F#5       B5
Than what it seems to be

( B5  G5  A5  C#5  E5 )
( F#5  G#5  E5  G#5  E5 )

G5  F#5          B5
 Oh,  I'm still searching
    G5  F#5          B5
The way back to be freed
    G5    F#5        E5
The loneliness hangs around us
B5  A5    G5       F#5
However, we can't see

B5  A5     E5
Now let me go (now let me go)
B5   A5         E5
Away across the sea (now let me go)
    F#5  E5           D5
The waves can't be as high
G5      F#5        E5
As they pretend to be

( G  D/F#  E5 )

B5  A5     E5
And now I know
      B5       A5       E5
In my heart, I won't forget
    F#5   E5            D5
The sails against the blue sky
G5               F#5       Bm
  That taught me how to live

Em   D     A
With   no sorrow
     Em   D         A
And tomorrow we'll share
G    F#m        Bm
Silence and distance
          G      F#m     B
'Till our faults are repaired
G      F#m     E      Bm
You'll be the mistress
 A       G  F#m    B  Bm
Who I'll never forget
