G D G D G D G G E A E
I've been staring at the edge of the water

Pre-chorus: @0:39
E D E G G E D E G G
Every turn I take, every trail I track

To the place I know, where I cannot go

Though I long to be

See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
G D2 E2 B..A G D2 E2 B..A
And no one knows, how far it goes
G A B G A B G A B G G D2 A~BA
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me

If I go there's just no telling how far I'll go

D2.. C2 B G A B G A B G D2 A
See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding

What's beyond that line, will I cross that line?
