C
It's on my mind
                  A#
As the light fades
          Am  F G       C
What you doing  tonight?
C
Are you dancing?
                        A#
Are there new tunes to play?
      Am   F        G
As I sail further away from you

Chorus:
Am              F   E      F
Far away island, I miss you
    D
I know you think I must be lost now,
         Am E/G#  C
but I’m not   anymore

It's on my mind
We're away now
Down, down into the shadows
I’m cut to pieces
I'm dancing alone with the moon and the white whale

Chorus
