Standard (EADGBE)

Standing by the ocean

Watch it tear away the shore

Glide out upon the desert

The horizon is the door

And though your voice is shouting

Above the wind it can't be heard

Drop all sense of reason

It's there you'll find your worth

  And though you are surrounded

  Feeling quite alone

  There's

light to guide you home

(chorus)

 If you stand with your face

  To the wind off the water

 At the point of land's end

 Where the ocean begins

Look to the memory

 Of the ones gone before

 The light and the meaning of

 The Voices on the Wind.

Searching for safe passage

As you knock on every door

You still can hear the howling

Of the mongrel dogs of war

You call out for some comfort

Seeking shelter from the night

A raging rain's upon you

Feeling tired of the fight

And though you are surrounded

Feeling quite alone

There's a light to guide you home

(chorus)

Their words carry over water

And fall back down to earth

What follows is the silence

As you contemplate their worth

A vision comes before you

But the meaning's still unclear

Standing at the threshold

As you watch it disappear

And though you are surrounded

Feeling quite alone

There's a light to guide you home

(chorus)
