(Verse 1) (Cm) Early morning, a mist on the bay (Gm) Engine hums low, as we pull away (Ab) Leaving the harbor, a silent goodbye (Eb) Just the gulls circling, up in the sky (Chorus) (Cm) Oh, the long way home, across the blue deep (Gm) Secrets the ocean forever will keep (Ab) Memories surface, like waves on the foam (Eb) This winding journey, the long way home (Verse 2) (Cm) Each ripple a whisper, a face from the past (Gm) Moments remembered, too precious to last (Ab) The sun on the water, a shimmering gleam (Eb) Lost in a thought, in a waking day dream (Chorus) (Cm) Oh, the long way home, across the blue deep (Gm) Secrets the ocean forever will keep (Ab) Memories surface, like waves on the foam (Eb) This winding journey, the long way home (Bridge) (Ab) The vast open canvas, where stars gently fall (Eb) Hearing echoes of laughter, answering freedom's call (Cm) Miles stretch behind us, and miles lie ahead (Gm) unspoken words, that were better left unsaid (Chorus) (Cm) Oh, the long way home, across the blue deep (Gm) Secrets the ocean forever will keep (Ab) Memories surface, like waves on the foam (Eb) This winding journey, the long way home (Outro) (Cm) The horizon calls, with a promise untold (Gm) A story still writing, brave and so bold (Ab) Though far from the shore, my heart knows the way (Eb) Till the journey's complete, at the end of the day.
