Orphans Of The Storm

D F#m11 Orphans of the storm, watch them sail between the waves D F#m11 Orphans of the storm, say a prayer and wish the rain away Em7 Gm6 Mother's milk and angel hair, holy books and bones D C D The sirens on the shore calling them home D F#m11 Breakfast on the lawn in the sweet September sway D F#m11 Helpless and forlorn since the pills and powders passed their way Em7 Gm6 Lost themselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole D C D While the needle and the thread stitches them whole Bm Bb Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves D Dmaj7 B Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay Em7 Gm6 No prescription for the pain only a sky of blue and grey D C D No one to save them, sailing their sinking ships up and away Instr with whistling D F#m11 D F#m11 Em7 Gm6 We lost ourselves, forever seeking, searching pole to pole D C D While the needle and the thread stitches us whole again Bm Bb Empty shells, only the shallow know themselves D Dmaj7 B Deeper and deeper, day by day, to keep the weary world at bay Em7 Gm6 Raise your mast and fly away into a sky of blue and grey D C D No one to save us, sailing our sinking ships up and away D C D Sailing our sinking ships up and away D C D Sailing our sinking ships up and away
