VERSE:
     A              E
On a distant shore, miles from land
           G                          D
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
  A                  E
A dream in a mist of grey
     B           A
On a far distant shore.


VERSE:
    A                      E
The pebble, it stood alone
    G                          D
And driftwood lies half buried
A                          E
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
       B                     A
So the cockles shi - i - i - ine.


VERSE:
  A                    E
A bare, winding carcas stalk
G                               D
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat.
   A          B   A
An empty way, dry tears.


VERSE:
A                        E
Crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds
       G              D
Make a circle of grey
     A
In a summer way, around man
         B     A
So don't drown
