Good to be here ?  ( Alan Hull )   from: The News
-----------------

1.)
On and on we travelled on, a man upon his mount,
Am6    Am7   Am6       Am7   Em
so many miles had come and go, I swear I had lost count.
Am6     Am7       Am6      Am7    G
In my mind no purpose, just an aching to be free,
 Em				B	    Em
on and on we travelled on, forever to the sea.
Am7			      C		   G


2.)
The land loomed large ahead of me, it spread it's wings so wide,
but in a dream I seemed to fly, to make the morning tide,
and there on the dock, stood the captain dressed in black,
I climbed aboard his sailing ship, and took a last look back.


Chorus:
And I saw the faces of everyone I'd known in my life before,
	       C	D7	     B		       Em
lined up and laughing on the shore,
 C		D7	      B
goodbye they cried, you're off on a magic ride,
 C		D7	    B		   Em
goodbye dear boy goodbye, forevermore.
  Cmaj7		     B		 Em


3.)
I searched among this morbid throng, for friends I'd loved and known,
but as I gazed the faces changed, and merged into the one,
and there clear before me, with teardrops in her eyes,
my wife stood lonely on the dock, and asked the question, why.


4.)
Before I had a chance to speak the captain gave a cry,
all hands on deck anchors aweigh, you've said your last goodbye,
and as the ship began to drift, adn the sea began to swell,
the loneliness that belonged to me, I can't begin to tell.


Chorus:
And I saw the faces of everyone I'd known in my life before,
lined up and laughing on the shore,
goodbye they cried, you're off on a magic ride,
goodbye dear boy goodbye, forevermore.


5.)
On and on we travelled on, through waters deep and wide,
through howling winds and raging seas, were tossed from side to side,
then a voice cried out my name, I clearly heard it call,
wake up wake up dear boy wake up, it's just a dream that's all.


Chorus:
And I saw the face of my wife, like the first time in my life,
laid back back and laughing loud and clear,
just a dream just a crazy midnight scream,
good morning love it's so good to be here.
So good to be here,
so good to be here,
so good to be here,
so good to be here.
