    Found the moon and the Milky Way, 
C                                              G 
    Watched the tide take back ...what it gave to me,

   Down to the bones of the earth be - low,  I want to know...

Dm                    C             G  
    Diving from the cliffs at Echo Bay, 
C                                          G 
    The arc, and the pause, and the slow descent,
