The Word I Couldn't Keep - by Billie Wildrick из "Sea of Darkness" game

Verse 1
Bm              G               Bm              A
A foreign shore behind me and a hundred more to go,
G                  Bm                      G    A        Bm
On stormy seas and starless nights, caught on a cold wind’s blow.
Bm              G               Bm              A
So many years have put my battered bow up to the test,
G                  Bm             G    A      Bm
A long-forgotten promise coming home at last to rest.

Chorus
D                Bm                 G               D
For even in this darkness something calls for me to find,
Bm                  G                      D           A
And cities may all turn to ash, and stone walls fall to time,
D                Bm                 G               D
My love still lies there buried under silent ice in sleep,
Bm                  G            Bm      A     Bm
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn’t keep.

Verse 2
Bm              G               Bm              A 
I stole you from another but you knew I’d leave someday,
G                  Bm                      G    A        Bm
I felt the tide pull on my bones told you I couldn’t stay.
Bm              G               Bm              A
I made a bet that I’d return and someday soon I will,
G                  Bm             G    A      Bm
And though I’m many years too late, I hope you’ve waited still.
 
Chorus
D                Bm                 G               D
For even in this darkness something calls for me to find,
Bm                  G                      D           A
And cities may all turn to ash, and stone walls fall to time,
D                Bm                 G               D
My love still lies there buried under silent ice in sleep,
Bm                  G            Bm      A     Bm
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn’t keep.

Verse 3
Bm              G               Bm              A 
I’ve been to Ceylon’s bluest coasts and back to Amsterdam,
G                  Bm                      G    A       Bm
And conquered mighty swells with just the line beneath my hands.
Bm              G               Bm              A
And now I rest far in the north, a broken heart to lie,
G                  Bm             G    A      Bm
Forever under tattered sails and ‘neath the blackened sky.

Chorus
D                Bm                 G               D
For even in this darkness something calls for me to find,
Bm                  G                      D           A
And cities may all turn to ash, and stone walls fall to time,
D                Bm                 G               D
My love still lies there buried under silent ice in sleep,
Bm                  G            Bm      A     Bm
A grave left unattended by the word I couldn’t keep.
