Silence and Distance

Em   D         A 
Been here for so long 
      Em  D         A 
On the morrow I'll dare 
G  F#m      Bm 
Silent and distant 
    G    F#m     B    
Reaching out, unaware 
G    F#m     E      Bm  A 
Stealing the whispers 
       G    F#m    Em 
From my deepest request 
D       A 
And you watch me 
        Em   D        A 
Waiting for something new 
G  F#m      Bm 
My hands as empty 
     G  F#m     B  
As my body and soul 
 G     F#m     E     Bm 
Could keep pretending 
    A      G     F#m     B5 
But in the heart I'd be gone 

( B5  B5  B5  G5  A5 ) 

B5                                              G5  A5 
Still stare at my face, but lost seem your eyes 
B5                                          G5  A5 
Keep hold of the sails against the blue sky 

G5  F#5         B5 
 Oh,  I'm intending 
  G5  F#5         B5 
A way back to the sea 
     G5    F#5          E5 
This emptiness burns inside and 
B5    A5     G5      F#5 
Leads on for endless miles 

B5    A5     E5 
Don't let me go (don't let me go) 
B5    A5        E5 
Away across the sea (don't let me go) 
   F#5              D5 
It may be much more wide 
G5           F#5       B5 
Than what it seems to be 

( B5  G5  A5  C#5  E5 ) 
( F#5  G#5  E5  G#5  E5 ) 

G5  F#5          B5   
 Oh,  I'm still searching 
    G5  F#5          B5  
The way back to be freed 
    G5    F#5        E5 
The loneliness hangs around us 
B5  A5    G5       F#5 
However, we can't see 

B5  A5     E5 
Now let me go (now let me go) 
B5   A5         E5 
Away across the sea (now let me go) 
    F#5  E5           D5 
The waves can't be as high 
G5      F#5        E5        
As they pretend to be        

( G  D/F#  E5 ) 

B5  A5     E5 
And now I know 
      B5       A5       E5 
In my heart, I won't forget 
    F#5   E5            D5 
The sails against the blue sky 
G5               F#5       Bm 
  That taught me how to live 

Em   D     A 
With   no sorrow 
     Em   D         A 
And tomorrow we'll share 
G    F#m        Bm 
Silence and distance 
          G      F#m     B 
'Till our faults are repaired 
G      F#m     E      Bm  
You'll be the mistress 
 A       G  F#m    B  Bm 
Who I'll never forget
