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