C# A#m     G#            C#
Watch the waves so far away
         A#m                F#                C#
They're washing 'cross the paths that I have made
Leaving all my sins, I turn away
Like soaring birds, I watch my sorrows play

Chorus:
C#         D#m F#      A#m               D#m
Don’t you know   I've left and gone away?
        F#              A#m               D#m
You’re knocking on the door I closed today
    F#                 A#m  D#m
And everything looks brighter
     F#              A#m
The waves they just soothe my pain away

It felt so good to see the sun
I'll choose my time before I choose the one
Floating 'cross the waves, the silence runs
My thoughts can go, but now, my sorrow's done

Chorus:
Don't you know, I've left and gone away
You're knocking on the door I closed today
And everything looks brighter
The waves they just soothe my pain away
