A             F#m        
You come from far away
D                A
With pictures in your eyes
A                F#m
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
D                      E
In the blue and silent sunrise
A                F#m
But night is the cathedral
         D              A
Where we recognized the sign
A                      F#m
We strangers know each other now
D                    A
As part of the whole design

Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby
B             E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         E
Curl me up inside you
           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat
A         D        A
Oh..

A                          F#m
You are the jester of this courtyard
       D            A
With a smile like a girl's
A                 F#m
Distracted by the women
         D            E
With the dimples and the curls
       A              F#m
By the pretty and the mischievous
       D             A
By the timid and the blessed
       A             F#m
By the blowing skirts of ladies
               D                   A
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby
B             E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         E
Curl me up inside you
           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat
A         D        A
Oh..

A                 F#m
You have hands of raining water
D                 A
And that earring in your ear
A                F#m
The wisdom on your face
D                        E
Denies the number of your years
A                       F#m
With the fingers of the potter
D                        A
And the laughing tale of the fool
A               F#m
The arranger of disorder
D                          A
With your strange and simple rules
A                    F#m
Yes now I've met me another spinner
D                   A
Of strange and gauzy threads
A                  F#m
With a long and slender body
D                  A
And a bump upon the head


Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby
B             E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         E
Curl me up inside you
           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat
A
Oh...

E               F#m
With a long and slender body
        D               A
And the sweetest softest hands
E                   F#m
And we'll blow away forever soon
        D              E
And go on to different lands
      A           F#m 
And please do not ever look for me
         D           A
But with me you will stay
    E             F#m
And you will hear yourself in song
E          A
Blowing by one day


Bm          E
Oh, hold me like a baby
B             E
That will not fall asleep
Bm         E
Curl me up inside you
           Bm                   E
And let me hear you through the heat
A
Oh..
E  F#m  D  E
