  			Bb             F 
Long afloat on shipless oceans 
 Eb           Gm 
I did all my best to smile 
 Bb                 F 
til your stinging eyes and fingers 
 Eb              Gm 
Drew me loving to your isle 

Bb 
And you sang 
Ab 
Sail to me 
Gm 
Sail to me 
         Bb 
Let me enfold you 
Gm 
Here I am 
         F 
Here I am 
          Eb     Gm 
Waiting to hold you 

Bb           F 
Did I dream you dreamed about me? 
Eb                Gm 
Were you hare when I was fox? 
 Bb            F 
Now my foolish boat is leaning 
 Eb               Gm 
Broken lovelorn on your rocks, 

  Bb            Ab           Gm                         Bb 
For you sing, touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow: 
Gm                     F       Eb        Gm 
O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow 

Bb             F 
I am puzzled as the newborn child 
Eb             Gm 
I am troubled as the tide: 
Bb              F 
Should I stand amid the breakers? 
Eb                 Gm 
Should I lie with death my bride? 

Bb            Ab         Gm             Bb 
Hear me sing, swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you: 
Gm                    F           Eb   Gm 
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you
