Across the ocean to the second chance
  Am                             F                   G

From Wester Ross to Nova Scotia

We should have held you

We should have told you

But you know our sense of timing

We always wait too long

I wonder my blood

Will you ever return

To help us kick the life back
 Am7            Am
To a dying mutual friend
 F
Do we not love her?

Do we not say we love her?
 Am
Do we have to roam the world
 F                    G
To prove how much it hurts?
