Ave Saint Marie

A drifter out to sea
All alone
He taught himself to read
The maps in the stars above

Making his way
Around the world
Giving his heart 
To the only girl for him
The ave saint marie

Now he settled in seattle
And a love came naturally
But life on [C7]land [Bm]was [Am7]a battle
He still dreamed of the sea

Every night
Around the world
Saving his heart
For the only girl for [Dm7]him
The ave saint marie

I believe there is holy water
And a wild wind that
Fills our younger selves
I pray every son [C7]and [Bm]daughter
To set sail

On the ave saint marie
