Joseph chords

[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]Joseph, he left in the first light of morning
The [G]boatman was waiting, the tide was turning
And he [F]stood for a moment as if to say
I will [G]see you in passing [Am]

[VERSE]
The wind took the sails and he [Em]floated away
Like [G]so much driftwood washed out of the bay
And he [F]sailed to the island where the sand meets the sky
And he [G]breathed again [Am]

[VERSE]
[Am]There was something about the sand and the sea
How it [G]all comes together, how it's all meant to be
For [F]water is life and sand measures time
For the [G]healing

[VERSE]
They [Am]say he found Jesus, but that's [Em]really not true
It's [G]just an excuse for the blind and confused
For he [F]searched for beauty and freedom from pain
And he [G]made himself well

[CHORUS]
[Am]Joseph, we waited for [C]you
We [G]waited and hoped you'd come [Dm]through
We [C]looked to the mail boat to [G]bring us a word
But the [C]sound of the [G/B]seagull was [Am]all that we heard

[VERSE]
[Am]Now he walks like a dancer and measures his space
So [G]strong in his movement and easy with grace
And he [F]carries his body like one who has seen
The [G]hope of an answer

[VERSE]
[Am]Way in the distance the island is [Em]there
It [G]shifts in the sunlight and floats in the air
A [F]haven for dreamers and lovers who lost
And [G]people like Joseph

[CHORUS]
[Am]Joseph, we waited for [C]you
We [G]waited and hoped you'd come [Dm]through
We [C]looked to the mail boat to [G]bring us a word
But the [C]sound of the [G/B]seagull was [Am]all that we heard
