Lyrics

She walked by the (A)o cean,

wait ed for a (D)star

to car ry her a (E)way.

Feel ing (A)so small,

at the bot tom of the (D)world,

look ing up to (E)God.

The Tries to take (A)deep ing, breaths

to smell the salt y (D)sea

and she calls out, as it moves o ver her (E)feet.

The wa ter pulls (A)so in’ strong.

but not No one is a (D)round,

and the moon just is look ing (E)down,

say in’, (F#m)“Ro sie, (A)come with (Bm)me.

(A)Close your (E)eyes

and (F#m)dream.”

The big ships are (A)roll ing, breaths

to light ing up the (D)night,

and she calls out, as but they just pass her (E)by.

The waves ter are (A)crash in’ strong.

but not mak ing is a (D)sound,

and the moon just mouth ing a (E)long,

say in’, (F#m)“Ro sie, (A)come with (Bm)me.

(A)Close your (E)eyes

and (F#m)dream.”

(F#m)dream.”

(A)“Close your (E)eyes

and (F#m)dream.”

(A)“Close

your (E)eyes

and dream.”
