At the end of day

Seasons all the same

Anchorage unpainted

And a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard

He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world

Bm       B5    G
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts

The ones on their travels homeward from afar

The time before he became

Princess in the tower

Children in the fields

Life gave him it all:

     A     Bm
An island of the universe

Now his love's a memory

A ghost in the fog

  A         D5
He sets the sails one last time

    A        Bm
Saying farewell to the world

Bm      B5
Anchor to the water

Seabed far below

Grass still in his feet

And a smile beneath his brow
