[piano intro]
       (x2)


[verse]
                       
With an upwind facing starboard
                         
I wasn't sure of where to go
                       
And the salt burns my skin
                            
And your eyes were cold as the ocean


[chorus]

This is our day today
                      
  Won't you find a way back
         
To these arms


[verse]
                           
And we're bound for where we started
                                
With a downwind course through the harbour
                  
And at sunset I was sorry
                 
That this was our day today

  This is our day today


[chorus]

Why can't you find a way
                      
  Won't you find a way back
         
To these arms

This is our day today
                      
  Won't you find a way back
         
To these arms


[interlude]
   


[bridge]
            
And are we bound for where we started
                                        
'Cause the start is where we're bound to end up
      
The start is where we're bound
                                     
And we're bound to end up where the start's at


[verse]
                          
And when twilight turned to darkness
                         
I wasn't sure of where to go
                      
And the salt burns my skin
                            
And your eyes were cold as the ocean


[chorus]

This is our day today
                      
  Won't you find a way back
         
To these arms

Why can't you find a way
                          
  Won't you find a way back

This is our day today
                      
  Won't you find a way back
          
Find a way back


[post-chorus]
                
   Find a way back      (x4)
