Refuge
I wrote this song a few years ago, hoping I could stop singing it after a while. That hasn't happened. I am inviting others to sing it too.
Lyrics
Verse 1
D There’s a Cat boat running with the G wind/
A which is blowin up a D gale
F#m Tryin to find a quiet Bm harbor/
Em7 where she can drop her A sail
G rabbit lopin through the D meadow /
G moves with D out a A sound
F#m Camouflaged to/stay un Bm noticed/
G (Til he finds) his A (burrow un)der D ground
Chorus
G Be my refuge be my D shelter /
G... Be my D home and be my A land

Verse 2
D There’s a young man sailing through the G storm/
A without a compass or a D chart
F#m Looking for a beacon he can Bm follow/
Em7 that will guide him through the A dark

or G if he should sur D render to the A tide
F#m all at once the fog is Bm lifting/
G and the stars start A coming out to be his D guide

D Seems like this world’s in constant G motion /
A salmon swimming geese in D flight
