Dm      C6     Dm           C6
Dm       C6    Dm           C6
Lays me down, with my mind she runs
Dm              C6    Dm          C6
Throughout the night, no need to fight
Dm       C6    Dm          C6


Dm  C6   Dm  C6


Every time, just like the last
On the ship tied to the mast
To distant lands, takes both my hands


Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  G  F
Dm  C6   Dm  C6


Through the ages she's heading west
>From far away, stays for a day


Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  G  F
Dm  C6   Dm  C6

|       Luis Ferreira        |  You see a city in the desert lies           |
|                            |  The vanity of an ancient king               |
| * |  The city lies in broken pieces              |
|                            |  Where the wind howls and the vultures sing  |
