The fishing boats set out    u-pon   the  sea

I watch 'til they sail out of sight

The winter   follows   soon

Be-neath the August   moon

Some things I      don't sha -are

I can't ex-plain the reasons why

I hear the things I say but they're not me

Per-haps I'll know be-fore I die

Ad-mit that there's a reason why
  C(2)      F        G6      Dm7    Am   C/G   D/Gb
I count the boats re-turning to the sea

    G6(2)             E/Ab    
But no-one knows this secret me
      Asus      C/E
Where albeit un-consciously

I count the boats re-turning from the sea
