CAPO: 5
Intro: C F C F
C
I will write you one last time
You will be here in the morning
I imagine that you're sleeping
F G
On the North Atlantic swell
C
There's a wind in off the sea
Enough to keep me waking
F
Enough to make me think
G
We will say no more farewells
C
All the words that pass between us
A line of pale blue letters
Stretching from the Sambro lighthouse
F G
To the waves around Lands End
C
Now you're following that line
Enveloped by the darkness
F
You'll find me waiting
G C
When you reach its end
G
All the ones who ran from war
F C
All the wealthy and the wounded
G
That have landed on this shore
F G
They don't mean a thing to me
C
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
G C F C F
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
C
You've left behind your home
I have left behind my family
We have come here to this shore
F G
With the strength to start anew
C
There's a world here for the taking
A safe and steady harbour
F
There's a million things to think of
G
But tonight I'll think of you
C
Well, it's immigrants we are
This land has known no other
There's a million came before us
F G
A million more will follow on
C
An endless wave is washing
On this rocky coastline
F
Carving features in the landscape
G C
Fanning out and moving on
G
All the ones who ran from war
F C
All the wealthy and the wounded
G
That have landed on this shore
F G
They don't mean a thing to me
C
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
G C F C F
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
C
Tomorrow morning you'll look out
You will see this lovely coastline
From Mitchell Bay to Prospect
F G
It will seem like open arms
C
And those arms will enfold you
Sweep you safe into the harbour
F G
Deliver you from loneliness and harm
C
Tomorrow morning I will climb
Upon the hill above the harbour
I will look out to the East
F G
To where the heaven meets the sea
C
When the ship has come in sight
I will run down to the dockside
F G C
And welcome here just one more refugee
G
All the ones who ran from war
F C
All the wealthy and the wounded
G
That have landed on this shore
F G
They don't mean a thing to me
C
All that matters is the one
Who will be with me tomorrow
