[Verso 1]
 
Em              D                     Am 
 When I was a child, my mother would bathe me in the sea 
C              Em     D     Am      C 
Pull the old from my skin 
Em             D   Am 
 Young, young boy, swinging in her arms 
C                        Em    D 
Fingers pushing back my hair 
            Am 
So I could see 
 


[Refrão]
 
C                Em             D 
  Held me when my soul was opened 
Am                C 
By the touch of art 
Em          D         Am 
I was not broken yet by time 
C                       Em 
 Safe with her in the morning 
D             C 
But heading softly to the night

Em                D         Am 
 Now that I'm a bit older, I try to stay clean 
C                         Em        D      Am 
The coming night, the anticipated slip, mm 
C                             Em           D 
I was hoping to find I was justified in time 
     Am                         C          Em 
I was hoping to find what got away from me

D                   Am           C 
 Held me when my soul was opened 
Em                D 
By the touch of art 
Am           C              Em 
I was just broken then by time 
D                      Am 
Safe with her in the morning 
C                Em 
But heading softly to the night
