Rockcliffe Bay by Lucy Spraggan
Rockcliffe Bay
Capo: 4th fret
G
He said part of me
C G
Has been lost at sea
Am D
Never to return again
G
With her eyes wide open
C G
She was softly spoken
Am D
She said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?"
G
You look so fine, sailor
C G
Your shoes still shine
Am D
After years of a house that don't sway
G
But she could see in his eyes
C G
that ship's flag still flies
Am D
And his home was a ocean away
[chorus]
G
He sang, freedom was mine
C G
For one last time
Am D
When I was sailing along those waves
G
But now my plate don't slide
C G
And my rum's now wine
Am D G
And I will never be the same
G
I don't hear birds no more
C G
But there's swallows on my hands
Am D
I earnt a star that wasn't plucked from above
G
I have memories of friends
C G
Who left this earth as young men
Am D G
Yet my hairs as white as my hat once, was
G
He sang, freedom was mine
C G
For one last time
Am D
When I was sailing along those waves
G
But now my plate don't slide
C G
And my rum's now wine
Am D G
And I will never be the same
G
I hear a blast in the background
C G
Feel the wind whip my face
Am D
Towing a sister ship that didn't make it home
G
Colours, fade away from me
C Am
As I awake, my wife said
Am D G
"I'm sleeping next to my own"
G
He sang, freedom was mine
C G
For one last time
Am D
When I was sailing along those waves
G
But now my plate don't slide
C G
And my rum's now wine
Am D G
And I will never be the same

He said part of me
has been lost at sea
Never to return again
With her eyes wide open
She was softly spoken
She said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?"
You look so fine, sailor
Your shoes still shine
After years of a house that don't sway
But she could see
In his eyes that ship's flag still flies
And his home was a ocean away
He sang, freedom was mine
For one last time
When I was sailing along those waves
But now my plate don't slide
And my rum's now wine
And I will never be the same
I don't hear birds no more
But there's swallows on my hands
I earnt a star that wasn't plucked from above
I have memories of friends
Who left this earth as young men
Yet my hairs as white as my hat once, was
He sang, freedom was mine
For one last time
When I was sailing along those waves
But now my plate don't slide
And my rum's now wine
And I will never be the same
I hear a blast in the background
Feel the wind whip my face
Towing a sister ship
That didn't make it home
Colours, fade away from me as
I awake, my wife said
"I'm sleeping next to my own"
He sang, freedom was mine
For one last time
When I was sailing along those waves
But now my plate don't slide
And my rum's now wine
And I will never be the same
