Verse 1
E
You say well -meant again,
lock -keeper
C#m
Or laid in even deeper than
F#m
B
Oriental oils and tea brought
As we wait for my lot to cycle
C#m
A
I say my wife has just given me a son
B
E
A
E
is that all that you've done?
She wears bougainvillea blossoms,
C#m
you pluck them from her hair
A
and toss them in the tide.
F#m
Sweep her in your arms
B
E
and carry her inside
And her sighs catch on your shoulder
C#m
Her moonlit eyes grow bold and
A
wiser through her tears
F#m
And I say, how could you stand
B
E
to leave her for a year?
F#m
to where the Southern Cross
B
E
rides high upon your shoulder
C#m
Come with me, you cry,
A
each day you tend this lock
F#m
B
You're one day older,
A
E
F#m
B
while your blood grows colder
E
But each anchor chain's a fetter
C#m
A
With it you are tethered to the foam
F#m
But I wouldn't trade your life
B
E
A
E
for one hour of home
Sure, I'm stuck here on the seaway
C#m
While you compensate
F#m
And you shoot the stars
B
E
to see the miles you've made
And you laugh at hearts you've riven
C#m
But which of these have given
F#m
B
You, your tropic maids or me,
F#m
to where the Southern Cross
B
E
rides high upon your shoulder.
C#m
Come with me, you cry.
A
Each day you tend this lock.
F#m

You're one day older
