intro

G     G/F#      Em7   Em7/B   C    C      G   G/B
  You come from far away with pictures in your eyes
     G      G/F#     Em7       Em7/B        C     C    D/A   Dsus
Of coffee shops and morning streets in the blue and silent sunrise
    G        G/F#    Em7  Em7/B     C    C    G   G/B
But night is the cathedral where we recognized the sign
   G         G/F#     Em7    Em7/B  G           Dsus/A   G   G/B
We strangers know each other now as part of the whole design

 Am7  Am7s9  D/A     Dsus    Am7   Am7s9    D/A   Dsus
Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep
Am7     Am7s9  D/A   Dsus        Am7   Am7s9          D/A  Dsus
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat
G   G/F#   Em7   C   G/B   G/F#   G   G/B
Ohhhh...

You're the jester of this courtyard with a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women with the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischevious, by the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat
Ohhhh...

guitar solo

You have hands of raining water and that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter and the laughing tale of a fool
The arranger of disorder with your strange and simple rules
Yeah, now I've met me another spinner of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body  and a bump upon the head

Oh, hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat
Ohhhh...

With a long and slender body and the sweetest, softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon and go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me, but with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song, blowing by one day

But now hold me like a baby that will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you and let me hear you through the heat
G   G/F#   Em7   C    G/B   G/F#   G   C
Ohhhhhh...
G   G/F#   Em7   Em7/B   C   C  Dsus/A   D   Dsus   D
Ohhhhhh...
G   G/F#   Em7   C   G/B   G/F#   G.
instrumental
