    / + + + +      / + + + +      / + + + +

D A
        Long afloat           on shipless oceans
G Bm
        I did all my           best to smile
D A
        'Til your singing           eyes and fingers
G Bm
        Drew me loving           to your isle
D Cadd9
        And you sang           "Sail to me,
G/B D
        sail to me let me enfold you
Bm A G
        Here I am, here I am,           waiting to hold you"

Repeat Intro

D A
        Did I dream you           dreamed about me?
G Bm
        Were you hare when           I was fox?
D A
        Now my foolish           boat is leaning
G Bm
        Broken lovelorn       on your rocks
D Cadd9
        For you sing          "Touch me not,
G/B D
        touch me not, come back tomorrow
Bm A G
        Oh my heart, oh my heart,           shies from the sorrow"

Repeat Intro

D A
        I am puzzled,           as the oyster.
G Bm
        I am troubled,           as the tide.
D A
        Should I stand           amid your breakers.
G Bm
        Or should I lie with           death my bride
D Cadd9
        Hear me sing,          "Swim to me,
G/B D
        swim to me, let me enfold you
Bm A G
        Here I am, here I am,      waiting to hold you"

G Bm G/B A D Cadd9
