Clear Water

       F     C           G               Am
I want clear water as we sail out to the head
F             Em          Dm              G
All I want to hear is the ripple from the bow
F            C            G               Am
Let us be at ease now and know our true position
       F              C            G                  C
Like a compass to the star, like a team hooked to the plough

    F                            Em
And as for all the history, it's best it's left unwritten
Dm          C           Dm               G
Few would believe if we told all we have seen
F          C            G            Am
Comedy and tragedy have come along unbidden
     F                C                 G         C
They are the port and starboard that we sail in between

       F     C         G             Am
I want clear water for each new destination
    F                   Em            Dm             G
And if the storm should break we will take it in our stride
   F            C                G                  Am
We rode out the tempest when the clouded stars were hidden
        F             C              G           C
And the rising of the moon proved to be a fickle guide

    F                             Em
And if we hear the timbers creak, we'll be give and take
Dm             C        Dm                G
Voices from outside, we know our craft is strong
   F              C             G           Am
As long as we can speak without raising our voices
    F            C               G               C
The music of the storm is in the guarding of the song

                                 G
At night upon the deck I want to feel the salty spray
     F                             G
Like warm tears on my face for the passing of the day
  F                                Em
I watch the wheeling star 'til the light breaks in the east
Dm                         G
May the journey never end, let us be at peace

F  C  G  Am  F  Em  Dm  G
F  C  G  Am    F  C  G  C

       F     C          G             Am
I want clear water from here to the horizon
F                 Em             Dm                G
Maybe scarred and feathered, but who'd say we were wrong
    F               C            G               Am
The journey not the goal was the only thing that mattered
          F                      C                   G           C
While the wounds you thought had healed can still be opened by a song

       F     C          G             Am
I want clear water from here to the horizon
            F    Em           Dm             G
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
F    C             G            Am
Fair weather as we head for the skyline
F                C           G            C
Clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
  F                C           G            C
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
