    The Dream Belongs to Me...

Verse 1:

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 to your isle
Bb5        Ab5
And you sang
        Eb5
Sail to me, sail to me
Bb5
Let me enfold you
G5
Here I am
        F5
Here I am
           Eb5   G5
Waiting to hold you

Verse 2:

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"

Verse 3:

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"
