The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear

My friends and I have had a tough time
GG Piano Chord 
             GG Piano Chord 
           A7sus4       A7sus4
We're bruising our brains, hard up against change

               GG Piano Chord

All the old dogs and the magician

Now I see we're in the boat in two by two's
Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use
And the very close quarters are hard to get used to
Love weighs the hull down with its weight

GG Piano Chord

                A7sus4  A7sus4
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old

And we'll make it fine,  if the weather holds
GG Piano Chord 
     GG Piano Chord 
                      A7sus4  A7sus4
But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the point

That's where I need to go

No way construction of this tricky plan
Was built by other than a greater hand
With a love that passes all our understading
Watching closely over the journey

Yeah, but what it takes to cross the great divide
Seems all the courage I can muster up inside
But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side
The prize is always worth the rocky ride

But the wood is tired, and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds
But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point

To get us where we are this far,    this far

(G)
But the question drowns in its futility
And even I have got to laugh at me
Because no on gets to miss the storm of what will be
Just holding on for the ride

And the wood is tired, and the wood is old
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point
That's where I need to go
