Verse 

G 
Titus was born 
          C 
Under the eye of a storm 
           G 
Rain water carried his bed 
           C 
Around the world and back again 
           G 
Oh all the things he did see 
Em 
Life is a dream 
Am          C 
Drifting at sea 
           G 
So hard to believe 

C  G  C 

Verse 

       G 
And so Titus would grow 
         C 
Tall and strong as an oak 
           G 
Rain water stuck in his head 
                     C 
That filled him with words unsaid 
           G 
Of all the things he might be 
Em 
Drifted at sea 
   Am             C 
At night he would dream 
   G 
Of odd storms at bay 
   Em 
To wash the pain away 
Am 
Rain's falling 
           C 
Falling on you 


Bridge 

G                     Am 
And the storm, it was driving 
C 
Washing away 
        G                    Am          C       
All the trees on the island (Rain water, rain water) 
G                      Am             C 
In the air there was a silence but it washed it away 
G 
Crushing rocks by the sirens 
D               G        
It's falling on you
