A#
Five days
      F
Underwater
         Cm9
Near your island
         F
Off the coast

Five ways
You were my lover
Incantation
Of the tide in rhyme

D#               F
Oh, all in the glow I'll find you waiting
D#               F         Gm
Oh, has it been so long now, I
D#                  F         Gm    A#
Oh, I thought you knew that I'd be coming
     Cm9                                  F
The way you move, the foreign groove, at night

         D#
I could never
               A#
I could never hold you

D#                                     A#
Watch it rise up, where you hide your pearls
D#                                      Dm7
Feel it pile up, where you cast those stones
you wear
              Cm9            A#                Cm9
When no one's home, do they feel cold on your bones
         A#                     Cm9   A#
All the years I've missed your warmth,
                    Cm9
Have you missed my warmth?
            D#
On your island
