G
My oar breaks the water

We glide through the darkness
    Em
She fills the night with her song
     G
My heart won’t let go as we slide onto shore
     Em
She whispers I won’t be long

Em D C G Em D G

[Chorus]
D                        G                              D
I’ll be here in the springtime, when the frost still
           Em
lines the air
     D                  G 
Be gentle with yourself dear, cause your on
      D       Em
your own from here


G
Now into the fog goes my own one true love,
     Em
and down a road unseen
    G
I push off from land, an oar in each hand, and
     Em
the River she rocks me to sleep



[Chorus]
        D              G
And I dream of the springtime, when the
  D                    Em
poppies just start to bloom
   D                          G                             D
I look to the west dear and hope to see you
  Em
soon

     G
But I wake in the night and I’m taking on water
   Em
I don’t have the will to bail
      G
It’s sink or it’s swim, it’s lose or it’s win
             Em
When you’re gone, the trade winds wail

          D              G
So come home in the springtime, when the
   D               Em
laurel floods the road
            D                      G
Well count down through the days dear
            D         Em
Til once again you’ll go
