        F#m                              A
With a tiny rope and a bag of stones and all
her broken wishingbones
       E                     D
She's going in, she's going home
F#m
Oh this little golden eye
 A                             E
Fighting every day behind the light,
            D
behind the light

F#m                                 A
Walking faster down the street red eyes
and no shoes on her feet
 E                        D
Going on this journey, determined to complete.
    F#m
This is farewell, this is goodnight
     A                             E
The last time she will see the daylight
            D
See the daylight

Chorus:
           D          A
And she's going on a journey
        F#m               E
Always walking down the road
         D               A
And the water is always calling
           F#m                E
My little child, please come home

                F#m    A
That's when she went away
               E        D
Away from the light of day

Standing by the riverside
Patiently waiting for the tide
To come along, to come along
The water's going to her feet
And on her body, wind so cold and sweet
So cold and sweet

Chorus:
And she's going on a journey
Always walking down the road
And the water is always calling
"My little child, please come home"
And the stars were brightly shining
When she reached out they were gone
And the water started calling
"My little child, please come home"

F#m                          A
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
 E                           D
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out
Feel the water in her body, water's never going out

Chorus:
And she's going on a journey
(Water's never going out)
Always walking down the road
(Water's never going out)
And the water is always calling
(Water's never going out)
"My little child, please come home"
(Water's never going out)
And the stars were brightly shining
(Water's never going out)
When she reached out they were gone
(Water's never going out)
And the water started calling
(Water's never going out)
"My little child, please come home
(Water's never going out)"

When a shiny light hit her eye
And she turned around and climbed towards the sky
Towards the sky
