Columbus

Capo 2. FRET

INTRO:

Better keep your distance from this whale

Better keep your boat from going astray

Find yourself a partner and treat them well

Try to give them shelter night and day

'Cos here in this blue light

Far away from the fireside

Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded

Em

You can't even feel right

CHORUS:

So you dream of Columbus

Every time the panic starts

You dream of Columbus

With your maps and your beautiful charts

Em

You dream of Columbus

With an ache in your travelling heart

See how the cormorant swoops and dives

Must be some thrill to go that deep

Down to the basement of this life

Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps

Not like here in this blue light

Far away from the fireside

Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded

Em

You can't even feel alright

CHORUS:

And as tide must ebb and flow

Am Em

I am dragged down under

And I wait the livelong day

Am Em

For and end to my hunger

So I dream of Columbus

Every time that the panic starts

I dream of Columbus

With my maps and my beautiful charts

Em

I dream of Columbus

And there's peace in a travelling heart

I dream of Columbus...
