Secret Harbor Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[C] [F] [Bb] [C]

[VERSE 1]
I [Em]slipped into your harbour, [C]past the pirate ships
The [F]lights were low, my [G]sails were [F]down
The [Em]seal of sacred silence was[C] on my lips
I pr[F]ayed the storms were[G] weathered [F]now

[VERSE 2]
I [Em]climbed aboard at midnight, the [C]sky was black
The [F]gamble lost, the [G]tables [F]turned
And [Em]even in the darkness I [C]heard you laugh
And [F]wept as all my [G]bridges [F]burned [C]

[CHORUS]
There is a secret harbour [F]somewhere north [C]
A place where ships are not in [F]flames [C]
A cove of beauty hidden [F]from your eyes [C]
A place where no one knows your[Am] name

[VERSE 3]
You [Bm]said how can you be so [G]innocent
You [C]were my demon [D]all the [C]while
I [Bm]saw the skull and crossbones [G]on your mast
The [C]predator be[D]hind the [C]smile

[VERSE 4]
I [Em]cursed you as the wind blew [C]through my sails
I [F]loved you till the [G]moonlight [F]drowned
I [Em]sought you through the streets and [C]waterways
My [F]calling for you [G]still re[F]sounds [C]

[CHORUS]
There is a secret harbour [F]somewhere north [C]
A place where ships are not in [F]flames [C]
A cove of beauty hidden [F]from your eyes [C]
A place where no one knows your [Am]name

[BRIDGE]
You [Dm7]wooed me with your wicked [Em]smile that night [F]
And then you promised me the [Em]moon [Eb]
I saw it floating in the [Gm]waters deep
And [Eb]then it disappeared [D]too soon

[VERSE 5]
I [Em]sailed out of your harbour, [C]through the rising tide
My [F]memories were [G]filled with [F]pain
I [Em]drifted towards the sunrise, [C]lost in fog
Your [F]echo had me [G]wrapped in [F]chains

[VERSE 6]
Your [Em]promises were drifting like [C]men who'd drowned
The [F]bitter water [G]beckoned [F]me
I [Em]wrapped the shadows round me [C]once again
And [F]sailed through storms that [G]set me [F]free (set[C] me free), set me free

[CHORUS]
There is a secret harbour [F]somewhere north [C]
A place where ships are not in [F]flames [C]
A cove of beauty hidden [F]from your eyes [C]
A place where no one knows your [Am]name [C]

[CHORUS]
There is a secret harbour [F]somewhere north [C]
A place where ships are not in [F]flames [C]
A cove of beauty hidden [F]from your eyes [C]
A place where no one knows your [Am]name [Dm7]

[OUTRO]
I washed my face in [G]falling rain [Dm7]
And swore that I'd find [G]love [Am]agai[F]n____[Am]___
