Intro: Eb5   Eb5

Bb5          F5
Long afloat on shipless oceans
Eb5            G5
I did all my best to smile
Bb5                F5
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Eb5              G5
Drew me loving into your eyes

  Bb5             Ab5          Eb5                Bb5
  And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you."
  G5                   F5           Eb5
  Here I am , here I am waiting to hold you.

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,

  For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
  O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

as version*

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled at the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with Death my bride?

  Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:
  Here I am , Here I am , Waiting to hold you"
