[INTRO]
[Em]
[VERSE 1]
There's an island hidden in the sound
Lapping currents lay your boat aground
Affix your barb and [G]bayonet
The [A]curlews carve their [Bb]arabesques
And [Em]sorrow fills the silence all around
Come and see
[VERSE 2]
There's a harbor lost within the reeds
A jetty caught in over-hanging trees
Among the bones o[G]f cormorants
No [A]boot-mark[Bb] here nor fingerprint
The [Em]rivers roll down to a soundless sea
Come and see
Come and [G]se[G/F#]e [Em]
[CHORUS]
The tides all [D]come and [C]go witnessed by no waking eye
[Em]The wil[D]lows mark the win[C]d
And [Em]all we [D]know[C] for sure amidst this fading light
[Em]We'll [D]not go home agai[C]n
Come and [B7]see [C]
Come and [B7]see [C] [D] [Em]
[VERSE 3]
In the lowlands, nestled in the heath
A briar-cradle rocks its babe to sleep
Its contents watched by [G]Sycorax
And [A]Patagon in[Bb] parallax
A [Em]foretold rumbling sounds below the deep
Come and see
Come and [G]se[G/F#]e [Em]
[CHORUS]
The tides all [D]come and [C]go witnessed by no waking eye
[Em]The wil[D]lows mark the win[C]d
[Em]And all we [D]know for [C]sure amidst this fading light
[Em]We'll [D]not go home agai[C]n
Come and [B7]see [C]
Come and [B7]see [C] [D] [Am]
