C#7 A B
little light shining ,

C#7 A B
little light will guide them to me .

C#7 A
my face is all lit up ,

B
my face is all lit up .

E F#
if they find me racing white horses ,

E F# B/E
they’ll not take me for a buoy .

A
let me be weak ,

B
let me sleep

E A B
and dream of sheep .

“attention shipping information in sea areas . . . bell rock , tiree ,
cromaty , gale east . . . malin , sellafield . . . ”

“come here with me now . ”

( same as beginning )

oh , i’ll wake up
to any sound of engines ,
ev’ry gull a seeking craft .
i can’t keep my eyes open – –
wish i had my radio .

i tune in to some friendly voices
talking ’bout stupid things .
i can’t be left to my imagination .

let me be weak ,
let me sleep
and dream of sheep .

E F#/E B/E
ooh , their breath is warm

E C#/E F#/E B/E
and they smell like sleep ,

E C#/E F#/E
and they say they take me home .

E F#/E B/E F#/E B
like poppies heavy with seed

E A B/C# E ( leave G# out for ambiguity )
they take me deeper and deeper .
