D                               G A
Standing by the ocean
A
Watch it tear away the shore
D                                    G A
Glide out upon the desert
A
The horizon is the door
D                                                 G A
And though your voice is shouting
A
Above the wind it can't be heard
D                                   G A
Drop all sense of reason
A
It's there you'll find your worth
     F                                G
     And though you are surrounded
     C                         F
     Feeling quite alone
                     Dm       A#           C     G  D      There's A
light to guide you home

(chorus)
            A
If you stand with your face
             D
 To the wind off the water
            A
At the point of land's end
                    G
Where the ocean begins
A
Look to the memory
             D
Of the ones gone before
         A                   D
The light and the meaning of
          E                    A    G  D
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
