out of the night into the water we pushed the boat from shore 
breaking the air in the stillness of the  bay. 
intensity of stars reflected in the harbour (silently ignite 
the ore dips into oil-like water and we are away 
B7      E      B7 

E                                            B7 
your hand won't write, not tonight, but your mind may wonder 
into those deep lagoons that you  know 
and your boat will go by starlight alone 
     A               B 
da da da da da da da da 
     E           A           A          B 
you sang to the moon in the great black night 
       E        A   B 
with no lodestar in sight 
E       B7       E       B7  

E                                    B7 
out in the night out on the water we pull the boat back to shore 
breathing the air in the stillness of the bay 
intensity of stars reflected in the water silently ignite 
                                      E      A      B 
the ore dips into oil-like water and we are away  
 E        A            A           B 
under the moon in the great black night 
        E      A     B 
with no loadstar in sight 

F#5     A5      E5      B5     F#5     A5     E5     B5 

    F#5          A5    E5                 B5                F#5   A5 E5 B5     
and wait for it there are only two things now 
this great black night and the fire glow  
listen the darkness rings, the darkness listen 
the darkness rings 
and wait for it there are only two of us now 
this great black night scooped out 
and this fire glow  
listen the darkness rings, the darkness listen 
the darkness rings  
take off your things listen 
the darkness rings
