Lyrics

When we wore a heart of stone

we (C7)wan dered to the (C)sea

hop ing to find some com fort there, yearn ing to feel free.

And we were (Am)mes mer ized by the (Bb)lull of the night and the (F)smells that filled the (C)air.

And we (Am)laid us down on (Bb)sand y ground.

It was (Dm)cold, but we did n’t care.

And we were drawn to the rhy thm,

(F)drawn in to the rhy thm of (C)the sea.

And we were drawn to the rhy thm,

(F)drawn in to the rhy thm of (C)the sea.

We fell a sleep and be gan to dream when (Gm7)some thing broke the (C)night.

Mem ’ries stirred in (Bb)side of us, the (F)strug gle and the (C)fight.

And we could

In the still and the (Bb)si lent dawn an (F)oth er day is (C)born,

washed up by the (Bb)tire less waves, the (Dm)bod y bent and (C)torn.

In the face of the (Gm7)blind ing sun, a (F)wake on ly to find

that heav en is a (Bb)strang er place than (F7)what you’ve left be (C)hind.

And we are drawn to the rhy thm,

(F)drawn in to the rhy thm of (C)the sea.

Yes, we are drawn to the rhy thm,

(F)drawn in to the rhy thm of (C)the sea.

Yes, we are drawn to the rhy thm,

(F)drawn in to the rhy thm of (C)the sea.

Yes, we are drawn to the rhy thm,

(F)drawn in to the rhy thm of (C)the sea.

Yes, we are (C)the sea.
