C F G Am G
[Verse]
C
The market is empty
F G Am
The butcher's gone home
G
The candles have spent - soon the light will be gone
C
Soften your brow, dear
F G Am
Breath slow and deep
G
Let your eyes close as you drift off to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
C
The moon in the window
F G Am
The sun in the sea
G C
Now is the quiet - just baby and me
[Chorus]
F G C F
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
F G C F
And the cool of the water makes everything right
F G C F
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
F C G C
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
[Verse]
C
We used to go dancing
F G Am
We used to drink wine
G
We used to buy flowers and now we buy time
C F G Am
Mommy and daddy would work bear our hands
G
To make sure you have all you need in this land
[Pre-Chorus]
C
The moon in the window
F G Am
The sun in the sea
G C
Now is the quiet - just baby and me
[Chorus]
F G C F
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
F G C F
And the cool of the water makes everything right
F G C F
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
F C G C
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
[Final chorus]
F G C F
And the sun will sleep in the ocean tonight
F G C F
And the cool of the water makes everything right
F G C F
And the ocean once dreamed it could shine high above
F C G C
But protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
F C G C
Protecting, reflecting the sun is enough
