A Cm
long afloat on shipless oceans
D Fm/E
i did all my best to smile
A Cm
’til your singing eyes and fingers
D Fm/E
drew me loving to your isle
A
and you sang
G
sail to me
Fm
sail to me
A
let me enfold you
Fm
here i Am
A
here i Am
Cm D
waiting to hold you , waiting to ho . . . . . . ld you

A Cm
did i dream you dreamed about me?
D Fm/E
were you here when i was full sail
A Cm
now my foolish boat is leaning
D Fm/E
broken lovelorn on your rocks ,
A G Fm A
for you sing , “touch me not , touch me not , come back tomorrow
Fm A Cm D
o my heart , o my heart shies from the sorrow”

A Cm
i Am puzzled as the newborn child
D Fm/E
i Am troubled at the tide
A Fm/E
should i stand amid the breakers?
D Fm/E
should i lie with death my bride?
A G Fm A
hear me sing , “swim to me , swim to me , let me enfold you
Fm A Cm D
here i Am , here i Am , waiting to hold you”
