D5                             A5 
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight 
       D5                           A5 
And my boat and I are ready to set sail 
       D5                                A5 
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right 
        D5                                   A5 
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight 


            D5                         A5 
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night 
D5                            A5 
Cast out our fortunes on the sea 
             D5                             A5 
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water 
    D5                                  A5                            D5    
And dream of how our life will someday be, when she sails away with me  
 
 
As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full 
My mind is on the one I wait to see 
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind 
Where someday I will take her off with me 
 
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow 
I see a lady on the side 
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore 
Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride 
 
 
Chorus
