 Gm           F     D#6            Gm
A calm sea awaits, blue skies and sun
  Cm           A#         F        D#6
Inviting and smiling and dancing around
Gm               F   D#6
The wind pushes north, through the straits,
              Gm
towards the clouds
     Cm            A#          F      D#6
The sun rests her head on the water around
    Cm           A#          F               D#6
By morning, our voices will sink with their shells

Her belly exposed, up towards the sun
Lays hindered and splintered and makes not a sound
Ahead of her bow, a doll chain takes form
Of women and children that someone adored
In a last dance, hand in hand,
they float all around
