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
G Be my refuge be my D shelter..Bm/
Em7/ would you A take me as I D am. Em7/ could you A take me as I D am.

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
G Not sure where he’s D headed/
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

Verse 3
D Seems like this world’s in constant G motion /
A salmon swimming geese in D flight
F#m People/ fleeing war and Bm famine/
Em7 they keep movin' through the A night
G looking for a shore that D welcomes/
G north south D east or A west
F#m In our search for sanctu Bm ary/
G We’re all looking A for a place to D rest (2)
