Verse 1: 0:46
        Dm
When I first came to this island
                         Dm
That I called by my own name,
0:57
       Dm
I was happy in this fortress,
                 Dm
In my exile I remained.
1:09
         Dm
But the hours grew so empty
                        Dm
And the ocean sent her waves
1:21
        Dm
In the figure of a woman,
                          Dm
And she pulled me out to sea.

And send my soul away.

       Dm
On the altar of a sunrise
                      Dm,
Was a wedding in the waves,
2:18
       Dm
And inside her shone a young light.
                       Dm
From her labor, I was saved.
2:30
              Dm
Though I've traveled long in darkness,
                       Dm
In her harvest I'm embraced.

And the blessings on my table

Multiply and divide, yeah.
