A
[Verse 1]
A E
Long afloat on shipless oceans,
D F#m
I did all my best to smile,
A E D
'Til your singing eyes and fingers,
D F#m A
Drew me loving to your isle.
[Chorus 1]
A G F#m
And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me,
A
Let me enfold you,
F#m E
Here I am, here I am,
D A
Waiting to hold you".
[Verse 2]
A E
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
D F#m
Were you here when I was full sail?
A E D
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
D F#m A
Broken lovelorn on your rocks.
[Chorus 2]
A G
For you sing, "Touch me not,
F#m A
Touch me not; come back tomorrow,
F#m E
Oh, my heart—oh, my heart,
D A
Shies from the sorrow".
[Verse 3]
A E D
Well, I'm as puzzled as a newborn child,
D F#m
I'm as riddled as the tide,
A E D
Should I stand amid the breakers,
D F#m A
Or should I lie with death my bride?
[Outro]
A G F#m
Hear me sing, "Swim to me,
A
Swim to me; let me enfold you,
F#m E
Here I am, here I am,
D A
Waiting to hold you".
