The Cormorant Cifras

[Verse 1]
 Db                        Fm
Am I imprisoned on this island?
 Db                         Bbm
I have tried, I have tried to swim away
           Bbm7
Out to the buoy
      Db
Ebony rose
 
[Bridge]
           Fm
But the current's too strong
F
I now drift, daydreaming
 
[Verse 2]
                   Bbm
To when we were happy here, on this beach
                                         Ab
We played with our children, they were happy too
          Eb          Db
Tipping goes the cormorant
                            Bbm
I think she knows I'm a pathetic intruder
         Bbm7
Into the abyss
 
[Bridge]
    Fm
And I have watched her too
    F
From the stoney beach, mmm
 
[Verse 3]
          Bbm
That was black in the last year before this snow
          Bbm
Elsewhere sometimes
          Bbm
I can see beyond the lighthouse
           Bbm7
The uncharted cruise ship
           Db
Anchored way off
 
[Bridge]
     Fm                       F
As though the last party on Earth
 
[Outro, play until fade]
     Bbm
Continues to vast horizons
     Bbm
Container ships full of glass vials
